John McAtee’s second-half goal gave Grimsby a 1-0 win over Weymouth in their National League opener.

Grimsby dominated the first half and McAtee had an early chance but sent his shot over the crossbar.

Shortly before half-time McAtee threaded the ball through to Erico Sousa but the Portuguese could not find the finish.

But with 15 minutes remaining McAtee was slipped in by Lenell John-Lewis and slotted the ball past Weymouth keeper Ross Fitzsimons.
