Brave Mariners halt Shrimps' run

18 December 2009 21:58
Peter Sweeney earned the Mariners a deserved point with a 67th-minute equaliser after Paul Mullin had stolen his side the lead with 60 minutes gone.[LNB]Grimsby dominated the first half and went close on three occasions. Sweeney saw a curling free-kick tipped round the post by Barry Roche.[LNB]Then Michael Coulson cut in from the left and saw his shot from 20 yards pushed away from the keeper. And from an in-swinging Sweeney corner Rob Atkinson's near-post header dropped just past the far post.[LNB]Morecambe took the lead against the run of play when Mullin fired home with his right foot from 12 yards after a Garry Hunter cross had been half cleared.[LNB]But Grimsby equalised when a clearance was picked up by Sweeney who fired a dipping volley into the top corner.[LNB]Friday night's other scheduled League Two match between Hereford and Lincoln at Edgar Street was postponed due to the weather.[LNB][LNB]
