25 March 2023

Grimsby extended their unbeaten League Two run to five matches with a 1-1 draw against Walsall at Blundell Park.

Bryn Morris opened the scoring with a curler inside 20 minutes before Donervon Daniels levelled for Walsall upon the restart.

The home side started brightly and went close early on when George Lloyd and Niall Maher took aim from the same corner before Conor Wilkinson dragged his shot wide at the other end after the Walsall striker was teed-up by Jacob Maddox.

Morris put Grimsby ahead after 18 minutes when he sent a curling effort into the far corner from a set-piece while John McAtee also set his sights with a free-kick before the interval which was blocked.

Walsall levelled within five minutes of the restart as Daniels reacted quickest at a corner to hammer into the roof of the net.

Grimsby striker McAtee volleyed over and took aim with a looping header before Walsall captain Daniels struck the side-netting but in the end both teams had to settle for a share of the points which kept them in mid-table.
