PHIL PARKINSON’S Altrincham continued their excellent form with a third straight home win in an emphatic victory over Eastleigh that sees new boss Lee Bradbury taste defeat for the first time.
Grimsby Town boss Paul Hurst praised the quality of his match winners after two spectacular goals earned the Mariners a first victory since November 19 and moved them back to within three points of the National League play-off places.
A LAST-GASP equaliser from Barnet’s Mitch Brundle denied Altrincham a victory they looked increasingly likely to hold onto, although, in truth, a share of the spoils was a fair reward for both sides’ efforts.
