Grimsby, however, started the game focused and created two chances. They were playing their first match under the supervision of a new coach, who is looking forward to help Grimsby get out of the position they are at.
As the match went on, Moorlands players were still not focused and talking to the referee. 15 minutes after the start and the score was still 0-0.
