A second-half header from Luca Thomas proved the difference as Fylde made it seven away wins on the bounce in the National League North.

Coasters keeper Zac Jones was called into action early on to deny a close-range effort as Marine had the best of the action in the first half.

Finlay Sinclair-Smith was causing problems down the left-hand side, and midway through the first half, the winger struck the post before the ball was eventually cleared.
