      Bolland strikes against Morecambe

      Grimsby Town claimed a 1-0 success in the first leg of their Johnstone's Paint Trophy semi-final encounter against Morecambe. Paul Bolland scored the only goal of the game for The Mariners, who won the competition back 1998. The game at Christie Park was shrouded in controversy, though, after Morecambe's David Artell had a goal disallowed for handball on 67 minutes. But Grimsby wasted no time in pondering on what might have been as they raced up the other end to grab the winner, with Bolland slotting past goalkeeper Scott Davies. The second leg at Blundell Park takes place on 4th March, with the victors facing Milton Keynes Dons at Wembley.
