Rotherham United suffered a 5-2 defeat at the hands of Grimsby Town ending a run of three consecutive Youth Alliance victories.
Goals from Jacob Gratton, his third in as many games, and Jake Hull either side of half-time proved in vain as the Mariners ran out convincing victors on home turf.
The result ends a good recent run for the Millers who had only lost once in 2019 up until their visit to the East coast.
Team: Farrar (Ellis 76); Spence (Wenham 65), Southern-Cooper, Hull, Johnson (Millen 45); Gratton, Carlton, Trialist, Peel-Evans; Etia (Gateshill 45), Lewthwaite (Greaves 65).
