Marske United F.C. is an English football club based in Marske-by-the-Sea, near Redcar in North Yorkshire. The club are currently members of Division One of the Northern League and play at the GER Stadium.
History
The club was established in 1956 and initially played in local leagues until joining the Teesside League in 1976.[1][2] They won the league in 1980–81 and 1983–84 and in 1985 were promoted to Wearside League in 1985, which they won in 1994–95. The following season they finished second and were promoted to Division Two of the Northern League.[3] In their first season in Division Two they finished third, and were promoted to Division One, where they remained until being relegated at the end of the 2003–04 season. They returned to Division One after finishing third in 2010–11. During March 2011 key player Adam Gell left to join arch rivals Guisborough on a free transfer.[4] In July 2012 Marske signed former England under 17 international Kieran Edwards from Spennymoor(Who had also prievously played for Middlesbrough) on a free transfer which is one of their most notable signings in their history.[5]
The 2012–13 season started off poorly and results did not come the way the new management team were hoping. This resulted in club chairman, Peter Collinson, making a swift managerial replacement, appointing Ted Watts in October 2012. The team consolidated their status in the Northern League Division One as well as reaching the North Riding Senior Cup Final.
