Grimsby secured League Two survival with a 2-0 victory over Swindon at Blundell Park.

Cheltenham loanee Liam Smith and forward Donovan Wilson scored the goals in the final quarter of the game to clinch the win for David Artell’s side.

There was not much in the way of goalmouth action in the first half, with the best chance for the visitors coming inside the opening six minutes as Charlie Austin headed just wide from 10 yards.

Kieran Green had a close-range effort stopped by Swindon goalkeeper Jack Bycroft in the second minute of added time for the first period.

The second half followed similarly to the first but the home side did manage to get ahead in the 75th minute through Smith, who finished off a quick counter from the Mariners.

Wilson’s strike came in the 85th minute to make it a more comfortable finish to the game for Grimsby – smashing in off a post from the edge of the box.
