FA Cup qualifying -Grimsby Boro 1 Stafford Rangers 2 - Report
Stafford came from behind to see off Northern Counties East Division One side Grimsby.
The visitors made the worst possible start, gifting the Lincolnshire side the lead after just 15 minutes as Caine Winfarrah pounced on a mistake before teeing up Dan Trott to score.
But two goals in the space of five minutes swung the game in Stafford’s favour by the break.
First Louis Briscoe delivered a perfect free-kick for Kyle Perry to head in the 32nd minute equaliser.
The hosts were still reeling from that when young striker Harry Benns, on loan from Port Vale, struck a second for Steve Burr’s side.
Stafford raised their game after the break but failed to add to their tally and had to be content with the one-goal lead at the close.
