Tide is Turning for Marine

SWINDON Supermarine chairman Jez Webb says he feels the tide is turning after the club booked their place in the Southern League West play-off final.

Interim manager Lee Spalding guided Marine to the first play-off victory in the club’s history, as they beat Evesham United 5-4 on penalties in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

That set them up for a promotion showdown at Wimborne Town on Monday, with the winner being elevated to the Southern League Premier Division.

Webb has issued a rallying call to his team, who he insists are more than capable of winning promotion.

I think it shows great progress as a football club. Evesham were a much better footballing side than us and always have been,” he said.

“Now, I just feel that in the last couple of seasons we have got the right quality and mentality in the right places.

“The attitude in the players is something I haven’t seen before, I just think we have made strides over the last few years. Our attendances at home are going up, we have more sponsors and we have more people involved at the club.

“It’s a happy time to be at Marine. We have had our misery. We’ve lost in the play-off semi-finals three times and it take a lot to get over that.
