Grimsby were knocked off the top of the table as Braintree beat them 2-0 and ended their 18-game unbeaten run.

The Mariners had not lost in any competition since November but Luke Daley struck twice to see them leapfrogged by Wrexham at the top.

Daley, who now has three in his last two outings, gave the Iron a 27th-minute lead as Sean Marks' cross fell for him on the edge of the area and he arrowed a low shot into the bottom corner.

Three minutes later, Daley went close to a second but his long-range effort was beaten away by James McKeown in the Grimsby goal.

Craig Disley broke through the Braintree defence in the 73rd minute but he failed to hit the target with a curling shot from 12 yards.

And Daley punished the miss as he added a second two minutes later - his corner from the left flying straight into the net.
