The halftime relay competition proved to be a metaphor for the whole match. The Mighty Mariner stormed into a 1st leg lead (2-0) before Southampton came back (2-1) and looked to have won it by the final runner, who had to score a goal (2-2) to complete the relay. The last Southampton runner dribbled the ball slowly to the goal and struck a soft shot that was heading goalwards, only to be overtaken by the Grimsby ball (var) which had been shot harder from a greater distance and landed first in the net.

That bit was amazing! The kids were so non-chalant afterwards but it was a screamer that won it.

Some of us missed all of this as we were queuing for drinks in a bar set up that would have been a disgrace in the National League. We nearly died of thirst waiting for their bar staff to p*ss around.

...superb awareness, seeing the keeper entirely focused on the Saints lad and slotting it in the corner...what a memory for him...

Managed to see that at halftime, I was more tense watching that than the match. Looked like the Southampton lad was easily going to get the ball over the goal line first, but our little Mariner shot a 20yd daisy cutter that just got over the line a second before the Southampton effort, fantastic.
The lad deserves a bit of exposure, perhaps paraded at BP or a meet and greet with the players.

That's fantastic! What a moment for the lad too, thousands of town fans cheering your goal in any scenario is a memory to last a lifetime

We need this at BP.

Also wouldn't it be great to get a little story of him in the next programme or a short video onto social media! I bet he'd love it *parents permission ofcourse.

Was one of the best moments of the night that made up for the lad.

My personal favourite momment  was how stupid their fans looked climbing all over the tarpaulin as they began to realise that var might rule Walcotts goal out.
