| Match Summary | Knight passes Peter Bonetti’s keeper appearance record today, but he is upstaged by unsettled Carter. Two pin-point crosses find Walsh and Wood’s heads. Carter seals it with a shot from the edge of the box. Boss Laws has Mariners on the pitch at half-time to shake off their lethargy. By a strange coincidence Grimsby have Ivano Bonetti playing up front. |
