Grimsby Town 1-1 Carlisle United
- Published
Grimsby and Carlisle played out a gritty draw which saw the Cumbrians extend their unbeaten run to five league matches.
Mattie Pollock's first professional goal handed Grimsby the lead after 24 minutes at Blundell Park, before James McKeown bizarrely turned into his own net.
In-form Carlisle were quickest to settle without creating any clear-cut chances, but Gime Toure did manage to fire an early shot wide.
At the other end, Pollock headed straight at goalkeeper Paul Farman after getting on the end of a George Williams free-kick.
When the same pair combined for Grimsby midway through the first half, Pollock rifled home from close range.
Within a minute of the restart, Carlisle were back on level terms when McKeown tried to play out from the back, only to slice the ball into his own net.
Neither side were able to fashion a winner, though, despite the best efforts of Toure, who was a threat all afternoon at Cleethorpes.
