Curzon Ashton discover FA Trophy opponents

The only Tameside club left in this year’s FA Trophy have discovered their third-round opponents. 

After seeing off NPL Premier side Ilkeston Town in the previous round, Curzon Ashton will welcome fellow National League North side Marine to the Tameside Stadium, as The Nash look to progress to the fourth round for the first time in their history. 

Much like Curzon, Marine also booked their place in the third round with a win over NPL Premier opposition, seeing off Stocksbridge Park Steels at home.

The pair have already met once before this season, with Mark Bradshaw’s side thrashing The Mariners 4-0 in Merseyside, following an early red card for Leigh Whelan.

Should The Nash once again defeat their Crosby based opposition, they would be just four wins away from a trip to Wembley for May's final.

The tie is set to take place on Saturday December 13.
