Ok firstly apoligies to Ollerton Town for not turning up on the 10th we will make it up sometime in the season :) we promise anyway the first match of the tour was this "not so" friendly of two local rivals in the lincs senior cup its so good 3 teams enter it, Grimsby Scunthorpe and Lincoln and the winners would play lincoln in the final.
Grimsby went for a youthful lineup and SCUNThorpe went all out as they think as did 700 odd town fans that was the only silverware theyd get this season.
Grimsby started brightly and really gave the scunny team a good wake up in the first few minutes. Grimsby started with probably 4 players whod be in the first team all season with Jarman,Proudlock,Clarke and Leary. Scunny started with 11.
Scunthorpe got the breakthrough on 19 minutes Gary " One Man team" Hooper with the goal. which was a tap in.
2 minutes later it was two - nil to the scunts and Paul Hayes slotting it past 17 year old keeper Overton a few scuffles broke out between the players and Crosby shud of been sent off for high hands and shoveing but the lincs fa ref who will probably reffing at Bradley Pitches in the future didnt do anything, Jarman who is from Scunny but plays for Town was up for it and lookily he kept a cool head but he is firiy character and maybe on another would of been booked
HT 2-0 Scunthorpe
The second half was a drab affair and scunnys Hayes got another one after drab defending by Matt"Donkey" Heywood and that was that Corner came on for Proudlock and he got shoved by Crosby for nothing literally 3 seconds after coming on. " Welcome to the game mate" but it wasnt Grimsbys day and they lost 3-0
Attendance was 859 with 192 scunny fans and 3 goals on the first game compared with 2 last season ... things are looking up for the goalhunter
Next Match : Grimsby v Leeds 21st July 2009
