    So, how do these two sides play this then?

    If it's anything like the first half, expect end-to-end football with plenty of chances.

    Can't see that suiting Solihull though.

    Thank you to everyone who has pointed out that our score at the top is wrong.

    We've noted it and have phoned up some people. You can stop pointing it out now guys. :)

    Do I need to remind you that Grimsby have come from behind in both of their play-off wins so far..?

    Third time's a charm?

    The tallest player in the top five leagues of English football nodded home that opener.

    Quite literally head and shoulders above the rest.

    Wrexham striker Paul Mullin has been named National League player of the season for 2021-22.

    Mullin is one of three Wrexham players included in the team of the season, voted for by the division's clubs, alongside Aaron Hayden and Jordan Davies.

    Champions Stockport County have two players, Ash Palmer and Paddy Madden, in the team.

    Notts County's Ruben Rodrigues and Jayden Richardson, Chesterfield's Kabongo Tshimanga, Solihull Moors pair Harry Boyes and Joe Sbarra and FC Halifax Town goalkeeper Sam Johnson make up the XI.

    No Grimsby players were voted into the XI - but the Mariners won't care if they win this afternoon!

    Town couldn't settle early on, their midfield was getting overrun and everyone looked a bit nervous and making silly little mistakes.

    Eventually they found their feet and you felt only one team was going to score next.

    But they switched off at the back.

    That goal has made Neal Ardley's team talk a little bit easier.

    But he will know and they will know that Solihull can play that bit better than they've done so far.

    If they play like they did last week they'll score another couple of goals.

    And that's half-time.

    What a moment from little ol' Solihull Moors.

    They're 45 minutes away from a place in the football league.

    It's come against the run of play.

    It's really good build-up play.

    If you put somebody who's 6'9 in your team you have to get crosses in - that is a great finish.

    The big man with the biggest of goals!

    Harry Boyes chips a lovely ball over the top to Andrew Dallas who then crosses for striker Kyle Hudlin.

    It's a mismatch in the air as he out leaps Danny Amos, and thumps the ball into the far corner.

    Nope. Max Crocombe catches and then is fouled by Kyle Storer as he tries to clear the ball down field.

    No card for the Solihull player.

    Corner for Solihull.

    Can they cause a shock against the run of play?

    Five minutes until half-time. Boy, do Solihull need it.

    John McAtee has a pop from range but it's easily saved. Yet another shot on target from Grimsby.

    Solihull holding on.

    Wonderful skill from Erico Sousa who beats his defender before blasting straight at keeper Joe McDonnell.

    Knocking on the door.

    WHAT A CHANCE!

    Erico Sousa gets in behind for Grimsby, plays the ball across goal to Harry Clifton, but the local lad can't tap home with the goal gaping.

    It looked easier to score, somehow he hits it over the bar.

    Really good football from Grimsby. John McAtee finds Ryan Taylor, whose first-time lay-off sets up Gavan Holohan.

    Holohan drops the shoulder and attempts a curler, but it's straight into the arms of Moors keeper Joe McDonnell.

    The Mariners are finishing this half the stronger.
