Grimsby moved into the play-off places in the National League with a 2-1 win against Dagenham.

Jordan Maguire-Drew had already fired wide when he opened the scoring on the half-hour, slotting home at the second attempt following some poor defending by the visitors.

Luke Waterfall doubled the Mariners’ advantage on the stroke of half-time, firing the ball under the body of goalkeeper Elliot Justham from Maguire-Drew’s free-kick.
