Gainsborough Trinity failed to produce a second pre-season victory over League Two opposition as they lost 2-0 to Grimsby Town at the Northolme.

Fielding an experienced side, Grimsby took the lead after three minutes through Peter Till's long-range strike.

Neal Spafford shot narrowly wide for Trinity before the Mariners extended their advantage on 29 minutes, when Martin Butler pounced on a rebound.

Trinity created more chances but were unable to find the net.
