BARROW pulled off another shock victory to assist Grimsby Town's promotion bid in the Blue Square Bet Premier.

The strugglers won 1-0 at home on Saturday against FA Cup giant-killers Luton.

Barrow also beat Newport County recently.

Going into Saturday's game, Luton trailed the Mariners by nine points, but had three games in hand.

The Hatters couldn't find a reply to Adam Boyes' fifth-minute strike for the Bluebirds, however, and are now 12 points adrift.

The tussle between promotion rivals Wrexham and Forest Green also ended favourably for Town – the tie finished 0-0.

Table-topping Town now lead Wrexham, in second, by three points, and Forest Green, in third, by six points.

Mansfield are outside the play-off positions, in sixth, but showed they are firmly in the promotion picture by beating Dartford 5-0 at home.

The Stags are 11 points behind Town but have three games in hand on Rob Scott and Paul Hurst's men.

Telford – Town's opponents on Saturday – lost 2-1 at home against Cambridge. New interim boss Mark Cooper took charge of the Bucks for the first time.

Darije Kalezic's reign as Stockport boss began with a 3-2 victory over Nuneaton.

Tamworth triumphed 2-0 at home against Gateshead, for whom former Town man Peter Bore made his debut.

Macclesfield triumphed 4-0 at Ebbsfleet to fire-up their play-off ambitions.

Woking saw off Hyde 2-1 at home, and Hereford came from two goals down to draw 2-2 at home against Southport.
