North in line for Mariners return

Fri 21 Mar, 01:45 PM


Grimsby Town manager Alan Buckley has virtually a fully-fit squad to choose from for the trip to face struggling Mansfield.Striker Danny North - who has missed the last three games with a knee injury - could be in line for a return.

North returned to training on Thursday but is short of fitness and will be handed a late test by Buckley.

Midfielder Ciaran Toner is also back in training after his long-term ankle injury but is not yet fit enough to return.

Peter Till came through 90 minutes of the 3-2 defeat at Darlington unscathed last weekend after his hip injury so will continue while up front Martin Butler will hope to carry on his form.

Butler bagged a brace in two minutes against the Quakers and will be looking for more as the Mariners look to close the gap to the play-off spots to just two points with a win.
