GRIMSBY Town beat Bath City 2-1 in tonight's rearranged FA Trophy Round Three clash.

Substitute Rob Duffy scored the winner with ten minutes left to set up a quarter-final against either York City or Ebbsfleet, at Blundell Park.

The hosts took the lead at Twerton Park through Chris Shephard in the 34th minute, and led 1-0 at the break.

But Anthony Elding marked his new contract with the equaliser in the 53rd minute and Duffy pounced late on.

The match was given the go-ahead without the need for a planned pitch inspection, after being postponed due to a frozen pitch on Saturday.

Joint Mariners boss Paul Hurst said: "We were certainly nowhere near our best but we won the game and are through to the quarter-final."
