Last-minute goal denies Grimsby point

A last-minute goal from Garry Hunter denied 10-man Grimsby a point as they went down 3-2 at home to Morecambe. The Mariners took the lead after 21 minutes when a throughball from JP Kalala released Adrian Forbes, who coolly slotted a right-footed shot past Paddy Roche. Cheis Llewellyn was then dismissed for a two-footed challenge on Adam Yates, but Grimsby went further ahead after 57 minutes when Forbes volleyed home a cross from Nick Hegarty. Morecambe pulled a goal back shortly after the hour mark when Michael Twiss rose at the far post to meet Neil Wainwright's cross with a header into the far corner. The Shrimps then drew level with 10 minutes remaining as Diarmuid O'Carroll prodded home from close range following a long throw-in. Morecambe grabbed the winner when Hunter volleyed home from the edge of the box after Twiss had pulled a corner back to him.
