Grimsby Town: Mariners crash out of FA Cup
BLUE Square Bet South side Salisbury City shocked Grimsby Town with a 3-2 win after extra time in tonight's FA Cup second round replay.
A dramatic injury-time Rob Duffy goal forced an extra 30 minutes after the Mariners went one down just after half-time to Dan Fitchett's strike.

Duffy then completed a turnaround when he made it 2-1 in the first minute of extra-time at Blundell Park.
But Rob Scott and Paul Hurst's men miss out on a trip to Sheffield United in round three as the visitors equalised through Brian Dutton in the 100th minute, before Stuart Anderson's penalty three minutes later following a Shaun Pearson foul.
Joint boss Hurst said: "We got what we deserved.
"We got out of jail taking it into extra-time but we weren't good enough on the night."

“Scott remarked in the interview before the game "We've looked at the DVD again and know what to expect. They were a big side, too, who posed a danger from set-plays and that is something we will have to guard against again.Being at home, I think we will ask more questions of them and it will be a different proposition."
Er nah, sorry Rob but seems ya didn't look at the DVD hard enough and as Hursts very own words after the game "We got what we deserved".
Another typical Town performance against lower league opposition that just sums up your season.”
