It's a nice round half-century of games played between the two sides, and it's a relatively even record to match. Wrexham have the slight upper hand, having won 20 games to Grimsby's 19, and having scored five more goals in the process. Many of the Mariners fans' fondest memories against the Dragons probably come from the 5-1 home win back in April 1991 when Gary Birtles scored a hat-trick.

Glen Downey was the unlikely hero as his header secured three points on New Year's Eve. The defender was called upon for a rare appearance in the black and white stripes (it was probably all blue on the day) because of Slade's injury-ravaged squad, and his goal six minutes from time made it three wins out of three for the Mariners over the Christmas break.
