Grimsby 0-2 Bath City

Blue Square South side Bath City caused an FA Cup upset by deservedly beating League Two Grimsby in the first round.

Chris Holland rose to meet Lewis Hogg's inch-perfect ball from the right and head beyond Grimsby keeper Nick Colgan.

Bath made it 2-0 when Darren Edwards seized on a loose ball in the box and saw his shot deflected past Colgan.

The visitors were rarely troubled by Grimsby, whose best chance came when Barry Conlon met a cross from Jammal Shahin but headed over the bar.


Bath City manager Ady Britton told BBC Radio Bristol:

"We talked all week about how we should approach the game and the last thing we wanted to do was to sit back, soak up the pressure and hit them on the break.

"We took the game to them and stayed solid for the first 20 minutes because we thought their confidence would be severely affected by that.

"We were pretty comfortable for most of the game and it was only in the last 15 minutes that I thought they looked really dangerous."
