Grimsby survived a late Wrexham fight back to climb above the Welsh side with their first win in five matches.

The Wrexham defence failed to clear a corner adequately, the ball sloppily allowed to fall to Steven Watt who fired through Chris Maxwell's legs.

After the break a poor Chris Blackburn clearance fell to the prolific Alan Connell who made no mistake.

Curtis Obeng set up Nathaniel Knight-Percival for a short-range headed goal in injury time, but it was too late.

The defeat ended an eight-match unbeaten run for the Dragons.
