Grimsby returned to winning ways with a clinical second-half performance in a 2-0 win over Bromley at Hayes Lane.

Goals from Danny Rose and Justin Obikwu were enough to seal the three points.

A lively start saw Michael Cheek go closest inside the opening 20 minutes, but his low effort was denied by Jordan Wright.

Wright was to go one better tipping Louis Dennis’ fierce drive away for a corner and when Dennis did have Wright beaten Harvey Rodgers was on hand to block his goalbound effort.

It was the Mariners who took the lead straight after the restart with a fantastic, improvised finish, a ball across the box found Rose who managed to flick and hook the ball beyond Grant Smith while on the floor.

Obikwu made the game safe 20 minutes from time when a dragged shot fell to him in the penalty area and he made no mistake with a low strike past Smith.

Lewis Cass’ late sending off took some gloss off the victory but the win moved the Mariners up to ninth in League Two.
