Should RMI be victorious in their 3rd Round replay at Stalybridge tomorrow evening, they will face old rivals Marine of the Unibond League in the FA Trophy 4th Round. Marine will be best remembered as the side that posed the most potent threat to RMI's eventual Unibond League Championship-winning side in the 1999/2000 season.

RMI were promoted to the Conference as a result and Marine were left marooned in the Unibond League, although a year later Marine came to Hilton Park and defeated RMI in a Marsden Trophy Quarter Final.

Marine won through to the next round with a shock victory over RMI's fellow Conference strugglers, Northwich Victoria, and they will be looking for another shock should they face RMI, or will confident of their chances against fellow Unibond outfit Stalybridge.

Should RMI get through to the next round tomorrow evening, then the game against Marine will be played at Hilton Park on Saturday January 31st.
