Former players include Michael Ball (Everton and Rangers) and Stephen Wright (Liverpool and Sunderland). The club motto is 'To Enjoy, Not Destroy.'
THE boys were presented with their new hooded training tops before Saturday's game courtesy of Counterline. And, they put on a dazzling show for company director Tim Flood by rattling in seven goals.
Still no joy for Jack though and Sunday's friendly in which he was due to get a more attacking role was cancelled due to the weather. Hang in there, Jack. Now you know you Jamie Carragher feels.
Here's the official match report...
Marine U7s 7, Indanet JFC U7s 1
ANOTHER impressive display saw the young Mariners run out convincing winners against an improving Indanet team.
Despite the muddy conditions Marine were quickly into their stride and dominated the early exchanges with chances coming thick and fast and goals for Marine were inevitable.
Following some great build up play, Peter Silcock finished neatly to open Marine's account and before the end of the half dominated by Marine further goals came courtesy of Max Smith, Andrew Begbie, Kieron Thornton and Peter Silcock adding to his personal tally.
Indanet were allowed an extra man for the second period and the combination of this and some changes in personnel for Marine meant the game turned into a scrappier encounter.
Marine lost their shape and a lack of concentration from Marine allowed Indanet to score what turned out to be a consolation goal.
Marine eventually began to get their passing game going again and ended the game on a high with two well-taken goals from Kieron Thornton and Peter Silcock to give a final and deserved scoreline of 7-1.
With the exception of a few slack minutes it was a wonderful team effort from Marine.
Despite not getting on the score sheet Bradley Roberts worked tirelessly and created several chances. Kieron Thornton and Max Smith both had good games in midfield and MOM Peter Silcock showed some ruthless finishing to score a great hat-trick.
Indanet deserve a lot of credit for never giving up. Despite the heavy defeat the improvement in their team since the last encounter was plain to see. Colin Begbie

I have to say that the first half performance on Saturday was as good as any I've seen from the team since I started watching them over a year ago.(I was not lucky enough to see the 2-3 reverse against Indanet). Watching the boys was like watching Brazil at times! What was particularly pleasing for me was the way the boys are passing, building from the back and working for each other. I think the best we can realistically hope to finish this season is 3rd, which is no shame in what has proved to be a very strong league. But you never know what might happen with the top two teams taking points off each other...
