Completing the line-up is Peter Laverick another former Northern League player with managerial experience. New Marske will continue to ply their trade in the Teesside League this coming season and build on their success, hopefully gaining promotion to the Northern League.

Seniors Under New Management
Thursday 29 March

WITH ALL the upset at the beginning of the season, the committee put in place a very young side to enter the Teesside League division 2.

Major decisions had to be made as to the resignation of our Wearside League status. The main reason was the distances which the team had to travel and the transportation needs. The humiliation of the possibility of not being able to compete at that level was also taken into account. This was a fantastic opportunity to have our junior players rewarded for their service with New Marske Juniors.

Under the guidance of Paul Green along with backroom staff Geoff Currie, Simon Whitwell and Dave Taylor we near completion of a very good learning curve for our team. After Christmas it was always our intention to get a manager in place to take this team to the next level. The intentions of another season in the Teesside League and then hopefully if the new management believe the next step is to be Wearside football then all applications will be forwarded.

Many applications were received for what is a great opportunity to work at a great club. The level of applicants was very good and a shortlist was made. The Committee are now very pleased to have on board a very experienced coach/manager who has played and coached at Northern/Wearside league level who has all the traits to take this team to the next levels. Next season New Marske FC Seniors will be ran by Phil Laverick, who is looking forward to the season's challenges.

So I think it’s a great thanks to all who turned up and competed at this level, and maybe now the committee can go back and start running the club, with no other pressures. - NMFC Committee

Thursday 29 March

AFTER EIGHT years in the role, Paul Green is stepping down as New Marske FC's Child Welfare Officer. North Riding County FA acknowledged the time and effort Paul put into the role, adding "Safeguarding is an essential part of youth football and without volunteers like you we wouldn’t be able to ensure safeguards are put in place.

Poem

They stand on a field with their hearts beating fast
The whistle has blown, the die has been cast.
A goal at this moment would send the team home.
Mum and Dad cannot help, he stands all alone
The ball near his feet, he kicks and it misses.
There’s a moan from the crowd, some boo’s and some hisses
A thoughtless voice cries "Take off the bum"
tears fill his eyes, it’s no longer fun
If your tempted to shout or groan, Remember
it’s a child who stands all alone
So open your heart, give them a break.
It’s moments like this, a player you make.
Keep this in mind and please don’t forget
They’re only Children, not Adult’s yet
