Grimsby struck three times in 12 minutes late in the second half to seal a 5-2 triumph over York in an entertaining clash at Blundell Park.

A lively start to the contest saw the hosts grab a 13th-minute lead as a good team move down the left flank got Cameron McJannet in position to cross for Andy Cook, who headed in.

The visitors replied in the 18th minute and it was a former Grimsby man, Alex Hunt, who netted with a rifled low effort into the bottom corner.

York went in front when Jack Hunt curled in a shot after cutting in from the right side of the area in the 28th minute, but just three minutes later Iwan Morgan levelled the scores again with an effort on the rebound.

Grimsby scored a third in the 75th minute as Morgan delivered to the far post for McJannet to head in.

Josh Andrews added a fourth on the counter-attack three minutes later and Geza David Turi rounded off a fine second half for the hosts with a fifth in the 86th minute.
