Superb result grafted out of hard work on the back of some exceptional skills. With 57 seconds on the stopped clock Grimsby had taken a 1-0 lead thanks to a Daniel Hornigold thunder bolt shot.  If the keeper saw it he did nothing to stop it; bizarrely he ended on the floor with a suspected dislocated shoulder bone. The rest of the half was 50/50; Grimsby was not at their best, having seen an initial result from distance to many players thought they would try their luck, time again it was ball wasted.  Sheffield wasted chances after some excellent build up play, which illustrated why they went into the game second in the table; Grimsby tested the substitute keeper who kept them in the game with some great saves. The half time rant was that we had got to half time without playing anywhere close to peak form, the team had room to lift its game, the team needed to retain the ball longer, cut out the long shot and work closer to Sheffield goal.

The second half started nip and tuck, both teams testing the other when in possession; the first turning point came when a Sheffield player was sent off for 2 yellow cards.  Sheffield had 2 minutes to play a player short, power play, or an opportunity that can't be missed, Grimsby had to inflict a goal from this situation.  With seconds of the 2 minutes left Mathew Payne delivered the goods; 2-1 to Grimsby.

The game again settled to its previous tight game, when out of the blue, with all our inexperienced players on the pitch 3-1, 4-1 and the clock showing 6 minutes left.  For the first time in a game Grimsby had the bench to take of all 4 for a well earned rest and replace with 4 water and rested substitutes.

Futsal can kick you in the teeth, a 2 goal lead can be wiped in seconds if a team switches off; Sheffield did score  to make it 4-2, but that was wiped out with a Lee Wilkinson goal from a gem of a pass from Grimsby youngest player Josh Parry.  A scooped pass took out the keeper and a defender, leaving ‘Wilko' with a tap in, a tap in created because he bust a gut to get in the position in the first place.

Credit to Josh who was responsible for 3 assists on the last 3 goals.

Leigh Graves has  been a class keeper in every game this season, against Sheffield he was at the peak of his form; an added bonus is his improvement in distribution which is giving his team mates better quality ball to start moves from.

Sam Brookes made his debut and was comfortable an assured on the ball and will be major team asset in future games.

Grimsby's hit squad of Hornigold, Frary, and Payne all added to their goal tally, all 3 being in the top 15 scorers of the FA National League.

Kirk Russell, Luke McClellan, Matt Horner all played a major role in a great team performance, with goals coming from so many positions the team is in a position to improve to new levels.
