McIlroy praises battling Shrimps

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.Grimsby also had Chris Llewellyn sent off, but McIlroy refused to let the sending off detract from his side's win."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."But with the way we are at the moment, unbeaten in seven, we are showing plenty of resilience."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."
