Marine A.F.C.
Marine takes its name from a hotel on the River Mersey sea front at Waterloo, seven miles to the north of Liverpool city centre, where the founders of the club met.He was recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the longest serving manager in world football as Marine enjoyed their most successful period, winning 30 trophies.In 1999, the magazine FourFourTwo included a monthly feature on the club, sending Michael Hann to follow them for an entire season.Under the new management team of Alvin McDonald and assistant Peter Carroll, Marine qualified for the Northern Premier Division play-offs twice in succession (2005–06 and 2006–07), losing to the eventual winners each time.McDonald left the club partway through the 2008–09 season [4] with players Kevin Lynch and Phil Brazier being appointed caretakers.[7] Carl Macauley took over at the beginning of the 2014–15 season,[8] but a poor run of form saw the club in the relegation zone, 11 points from safety, and he was sacked.[9] Defender Sean Hessey was placed in temporary charge until the end of the season, and guided the club to a remarkable escape from relegation, with only one defeat in their final twelve games.There was a strong performance in the league cup, beating Glossop North End, Ramsbottom United and Workington to progress to the quarter-finals.A home draw saw Ossett Town narrowly beaten 1–0 before Colwyn Bay were drawn to visit Rossett Park in the semi-finals.Colwyn Bay were defeated 4–1 with Alan Burton, Andy Owens, James Foley and player-manager Sean Hessey getting on the score-sheet.At 1–1, in the fourth minute of added time, that season's highest club goalscorer Danny Mitchley curled in an effort from the edge of the box to win the game for Marine.In the 2022/23 season Marine won the Liverpool Senior Cup beating Runcorn Linnets in the final at the DCBL Stadium 4–2 on penalties.The 20m high masts have a total of 28 lamps and these generate in excess of 350 lux, which was the Football League lighting requirement at the time of installation.[25] On 25 January 2014, the club announced a two-year ground share agreement with North West Counties Premier Division side A.F.C.[27] In December 2024, it was revealed that Marine had signed an option agreement on a plot of land for the new stadium, subject to planning and funding.
