Adrian Forbes grabbed a brace for the Mariners to put them two up, but Michael Twiss, Diarmuid O'Carroll and Garry Hunter hit back to clinch victory for Morecambe.[LNB]Grimsby also had Chris Llewellyn sent off, but McIlroy refused to let the sending off detract from his side's win.[LNB]"We knew Grimsby had a lot of spirit, they are fighting for points. We knew exactly what it was going to be like," he said.[LNB]"But with the way we are at the moment, unbeaten in seven, we are showing plenty of resilience.[LNB]"Okay, they only had 10 men, but sometimes 10 men roll their sleeves up. It's a great run. I would have been happy with a point here, but to get three is a great bonus."[LNB][LNB]
