Marine host Warrington Town in the FA Cup. Both clubs have had a mixed spell of results lately, taking wins and losses in fairly equal measure over the past couple of months.
This tie arrives with both sides fresh from other cup outings earlier in the month, so neither is short of match sharpness. Whether that form carries over when they actually meet is a different question.

Recent form: up and down for both
Marine have won 10 of their last 20 matches across all competitions, drawing once and losing nine, with 31 goals scored and 25 conceded. It's a decent overall record, but the pattern has been streaky. They've won their last two, including an FA Cup victory over Radcliffe, after losing three in a row to South Shields, Worksop Town and Harborough Town.
Marine: 20 completed matches; Warrington Town: 20 completed matches.

Warrington Town sit at seven wins, four draws and nine defeats from 20 games, with 35 goals for and 33 against - a similar overall shape, just slightly less efficient. Their cup form specifically has looked sharper, with wins over South Liverpool and Shildon AFC bookending a heavy 4-1 defeat away at United of Manchester.
Neither side's recent run points to settled momentum, so form alone doesn't obviously favour one team.
Comparative Team Statistics: Marine vs Warrington Town

Head-to-head: no real pattern
These two have met six times since 2021 and the results have gone back and forth. Marine won the most recent meeting, a pre-season friendly in July, 2-1, and also took the league fixture between them in April 2025. Warrington, though, won 2-0 away in January 2025, and Marine's biggest win in the set, 3-0, came in an FA Cup tie back in 2021, with a 0-0 draw somewhere in between.

History between the clubs is about as evenly split as it gets, so it doesn't offer a strong lean either way.

How this one might play out
Both clubs looked comfortable enough in their most recent cup matches, Marine beating Radcliffe 3-2 and Warrington seeing off South Liverpool 3-0, both on the same weekend earlier this month. That suggests two sides in reasonable cup mode even if their week-to-week league form has been patchier. Marine currently play a level higher, in the National League North, while Warrington are in the Northern Premier League, so there's a gap in status even though the recent numbers are fairly close.
With uneven league form on both sides and history split down the middle, this shapes up as a genuinely competitive cup tie.

With no market to weigh up here, there's nothing to back one way or the other. Marine's step up in league level and their two straight wins give them a slight edge on paper, but Warrington have shown they can score goals in bunches too, and the head-to-head record offers no real steer.
On the evidence available, this looks a genuinely open cup tie rather than one with a clear favourite, so we're happy to sit this one out.
