With the Second Round coming up this weekend, a quick look at the lowest-placed team left in the competition: at home to fellow non-leaguers and with a decent chance of progressing.
Founded in 1894 and currently competing in the eighth-tier Northern Premier League Division One North West, Marine FC - named after a hotel on the seafront have played at Rossett Park since 1903. Going professional in 1974 under manager Roly Howard - the longest-serving in post-war English football, at the helm from 1972 to 2005 - in the early 1990s they were responsible for giving youth player Jason McAteer to a (somewhat) grateful world. A win against Havant & Waterlooville on Sunday would equal their best-ever FA Cup run in 1992-93, when they made it to the Third Round and were defeated 3-1 by Crewe Alexandra.
