Pride of Lincolnshire!

TOWN reserves this evening beat their Lincoln counterparts 2-1 in the Lincolnshire Senior Cup. Midfielder Alan Pouton made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a second half substitute, and centre back Simon Ford also had an outing after his recent hamstring injury.

Town took the lead shortly before half time via a spectacular overhead kick by the unmarked Jevons. After the break Mansaram put Grimsby two goals up with a powerful strike from the edge of the box.

Alan Pearce pulled a goal back for the Imps on the hour mark, but Town held on and should have gone further ahead in the dying minutes when Mansaram missed a clear-cut opportunity.

Town: Andrew Pettinger, Simon Ford, Wes Parker, Paul Groves, Kirk Wheeler, Greg Young, Iain Ward, Chris Bolder, Phil Jevons, Darren Mansaram, Graham Hockless

Subs: Miles Chamberlain (for Pettinger h/t), Alan Pouton (for Groves 66), Ashley Hildred (for Bolder 82), Paul Huckett, Mark Newton.

Lincoln City: Gareth Jones, Mark Bailey, Chris Gordon, Dave Wattley, Dave Coulson, Adam Holtham, Allan Pearce, Ben Sedgemore, Jonny Allan, Oliver Ryan, Lee Frecklington.

Subs: Rory May (for Gordon 55), Chris Davies (for Frecklington 90), Charlie Trout, Matthew Draper, Sam Smith.
