MARSKE United start their season in The Albany Northern League with a home game against Crook Town tomorrow, kick off 3pm.
United manager, Charlie Bell, has held on to all his players from last season despite attempts from clubs to lure them away.
United's squad will be depleted early in the season with regulars Simon Kasonali, Benn Thompson, James Middleton and Mark James all scheduled to miss games.
The Seasiders will have Steve Hampton back after a long-term injury. Steve has hit eight goals in pre-season games, all of which were without conceding a goal.
For the first time in 12 seasons the club has changed the sponsor's name and now bears the Albany logo on their shirts, though they are still backed by Brooke Mileson from their previous deal with Arnott Insurance.
The Seasiders have a mid-week game when they visit Consett on Wednesday, kick off 7.30pm
