Grimsby Town 7-2 Mansfield Town

Bore gave Grimsby the lead after four minutes

Peter Bore hit a fine hat-trick as Grimsby Town dished out a hammering to shambolic Mansfield Town.

Bore netted from six yards to open the scoring and Michael Coulson doubled the lead with a deflected 25-yard strike.

Rob Duffy's header gave Stags hope but Bore's second close-range effort and Alan Connell's free-kick made it 4-1.

Mansfield's Louis Briscoe smashed a 30-yarder but Darran Kempson's header and another Connell free-kick made it 6-2 and Bore's 18-yard shot sealed the win.
