Grimsby vs Braintree Town: Mariners go top
Grimsby moved to the top of the Blue Square Bet Premier table after Ross Hannah's brace earned a 3-0 home victory against Braintree.
The hosts thought they had gone ahead after 33 minutes, only for Shaun Pearson's headed effort to be disallowed for a foul on Iron defender Alan Massey.
Hannah then spurned a good opportunity to give the Mariners the lead after 36 minutes, sending a looped effort aimlessly wide.
The Bradford loanee made up for his mistake two minutes before half-time, glancing Nathan Pond's quality cross into the top corner.

The hosts' advantage was doubled seven minutes into the second half as Craig Disley got the slightest touch on Scott Neilson's whipped free-kick.
Hannah gave visiting goalkeeper Danny Naisbitt no chance with a low shot on the turn after 65 minutes to notch his seventh goal of the season and give the home side an unassailable lead.
