Grimsby Town vs Harrogate live EFL Trophy updates
Grimsby Town’s young stars are set to get their chance this evening as the Mariners begin their EFL Trophy campaign.
Ian Holloway has promised some of the club’s up and coming prospects will feature as Town take on Harrogate in their first group stage game at Blundell Park this evening.
The likes of Joey Hope, Joe Starbuck, Cameron Painter, Evan Khouri, Duncan Idehen and Luis Adlard could all feature in the Mariners’ second game of the 2020/21 season tonight, following Saturday’s penalty shootout defeat to Morecambe in the Carabao Cup.
And some of the club’s new signings could be set to make their debuts, with Luke Spokes and newest arrival Terry Taylor in the running to make their first appearances.
There will of course be no fans in attendance once again, but keep up to date with all the key moments from the game with us!
