It was a disastrous start to the Easter weekend for Grimsby Town as they fell to a 4-0 defeat at home to Swindon Town. Ian Holloway’s side were ruthless with their opportunities and kept the Mariners quiet. Colchester United’s goalless draw against Crewe Alexandra saw the former jump up into the final play-off spot on goal difference at Town’s expense.

David Artell believes Grimsby Town were the architects of their own downfall against Harrogate Town as they surrendered a two-goal lead late on to draw 2-2. The Mariners boss was left frustrated that Kieran Green’s wonder goal did not lead to a victory for his side. His and Jason Dadi Svanthorsson’s first-half strikes were cancelled out by two late goals for the hosts.

Grimsby Town will hunt for their fourth win in five games to keep on the play-off pace as they travel to North Yorkshire to face Harrogate Town on Saturday. The Mariners will hope to create more space between them and those chasing them down for the final play-off spot with Colchester United just three points behind. Ninth-placed Crewe Alexandra’s defeat to Cheltenham Town on Friday night gives David Artell’s side a chance to go seven clear of them with a win at the weekend.

Grimsby Town strengthened their grip on the final play-off spot with a second-half surge to beat relegation-threatened Morecambe 3-1 at Blundell Park. Kieran Green bagged a brace with Luca Barrington scored for the first time since October as the Mariners responded appropriately to their midweek setback against Crewe Alexandra. David Artell made four changes to the starting line-up from the midweek defeat to Crewe.

🗣️ “He’s a leader by action, he’s a leader of men…” #GTFC boss David Artell on Kieran Green after his two goals against Morecambe! Great pic from @joncorkenphoto 📸 https://t.co/28KlUNsaCo

Much better in the second half. George McEachran made a huge difference - what a player he is. Run out of superlatives for Kieran Green this season, getting rewards for his lung-busting efforts today. #GTFC

Frustrating that Town didn’t kick on after getting the opener. Definitely still there to be won if they can tighten up the passing. Don’t think DA will wait long to bring on the other regulars if it continues like it has though! #GTFC
