The Mariners are back at Blundell Park this afternoon as Grimsby Town Women play their first home game of the season at the Club’s historic home.
Following their promotion last season, Town begin a new chapter in front of the Mariners faithful as they welcome supporters to Blundell Park for what promises to be a special afternoon. They kicked off their new campaign with an emphatic win on the road at Gainsborough Trinity Women last Sunday, and will be hoping for more today against the former Women’s FA Cup winners.
Ben Thomas emphasised the importance of your support today in his pre-match press conference:
