Rob Atkinson and Danny Boshell scored to give relegation-threatened Grimsby a lifeline - but their hero was on-loan goalkeeper Wayne Henderson.

Notts were denied by several fine saves by Henderson, while Boshell cleared Delroy Facey's header off the line.

Defender Atkinson then soared to head in a corner from Peter Sweeney.

And with Notts pressing foward, Boshell went clear to score a goal that sealed Grimsby's win and Luton's relegation from the League.
