The goal though was the first in league football for Burnley's Wes Fletcher who began a month on loan with Grimsby a week earlier. He made his debut as a substitute against Cheltenham a week last Saturday and yesterday was again used as a sub, coming on with just over twenty minutes to go.
Wes, to the right of goal, got onto a through ball from Adam Proudlock and hit a low shot from the edge of the box across the goalkeeper and into the bottom corner of the net. It was a typical Wes Fletcher goal.
It was a poor performance overall by the Mariners, but manager Neil Woods said: "The goal was a good goal. Wes took it extremely well."
Fletcher, still 18, will be hoping to get a place in the starting line up next week at Aldershot.
