City started nervously, with the suspended Ben Martin’s absence looking particularly key having been sent off during the Saints’ crushing 6-0 defeat at Whitehawk two weeks ago, and they were lucky not to go behind inside the first 10 minutes.

First, Jake Mawford flashed a ball across the area that Withey blasted over and then moments later, Welch scuffed a backpass to Mawford but the Saints escaped From there, City found some rhythm and should have got themselves in front. Kevin Krans’ neat pass found Ghassimu Sow with time around the penalty spot but he shot wide.

Both sides fancied their chances in this winnable tie but neither could stamp their authority on the game. Theophanous, perhaps the most likely to grab the headlines, missed when in acres of space once more as Saints wasted another chance.

ESSENTIAL MANAGER Alan Buckley is an omnipresent figure amongst the Grimsby staff, taking charge of the club for a total of 11 years over three separate managerial stints.

Even today, 27 years after his first appointment, you will find him lurking deep within the club managing The Mariners’ U17s side. He guided Grimsby to Division Four runners-up in 1990 and, in the following year, used the momentum from the previous Auto Windscreens Shield Final, 1998 campaign to provide a backbone for promotion. It succeeded. The Cleethorpes club After dumping out Burnley in the Northern Area Final, finished a respectable third in Division Three which saw them promoted to Division Two Grimsby Town registered a spot in the Auto Windscreens and the Buckley brilliance didn’t cease there.

An injury-hit spell with Swindon Town was to follow before a successful loan move to Hartlepool United became permanent in 2007. The creative midfielder then became an important part of the Pools’ team, winning promotion to League One in his first season.

Monkhouse ended up playing 325 games for Hartlepool in all competitions, scoring 47 goals. After leaving the north-east club, he was snapped up by Bristol Rovers in the summer of 2014 as they looked to create a team capable of winning promotion back to The Football League. Rovers’ promotion was aided by the influential Monkhouse, as he scored eight times in 42 matches. He is now hoping to repeat the trick for his current club.

STRIKER – OMAR BOGLE

MANAGER – PAUL HURST Currently in his fifth full season in charge of the Mariners is former Rotherham United legend, Paul Hurst. In his playing days, Hurst was largely a left-back for Rotherham, totting up 15 years and over 430 appearances for the Millers. He helped the club win promotion twice and even The Football League Trophy in 1996.

Hurst dived into management shortly after his retirement in 2008 with Ilkeston Town. He took charge of the non-League club along with former Rotherham team-mate, Rob Scott.

Hurst and Scott won promotion to the Conference North with The Robins but were forced to move on when financial problems struck the club. The manager duo then moved on to Boston United where they repeated the promotion feat and almost lead the Pilgrims to a second successive promotion. Grimsby Town cast a keen eye upon Hurst and Scott and consequently hired the pairing in March 2011.
