GRIMSBY Town’s bumper Bank Holiday weekend continued in style as they routed sorry Alfreton for seven goals at a wet and windy Blundell Park.
Paul Hurst’s men came into the game brimming with confidence after their 6-1 hammering of Gateshead on Saturday but they went one better on the afternoon thanks to a scintillating display of pace, power and precision.
Tonight, Grimsby Town host Gateshead in the Skrill Premier Play Off Semi-Final 1st Leg. The Mariners’ recent record against the men from the North East is a good one and a victory by the margin achieved in the league game at Blundell Park last season will go a long way to securing Paul Hurst’s men a trip back to Wembley.
The European Championship starts today in Poland and Ukraine and over the years the tournament has given us some fantastic matches, goals and moments but also some of the more ridiculous and light-hearted sides of the beautiful game.
Champs & Chumps will look back at those players, coaches, officials and others who have made their mark on the tournament, for better or worse, since 1988 (the first tournament I can recall watching).
Every season we make football predictions at the start of August. I recently had the opportunity to look back on my shout-outs for 2011/12 and it’s interesting to see who has really let you down this season!
