Shrewsbury claimed a priceless first away victory of the Sky Bet League Two campaign with a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Grimsby at Blundell Park.<\/p>\n
George Lloyd gave Salop a one-goal lead going into the break before Kian McMahon-Brown doubled their advantage on the hour mark, with Finlay Cartwright’s first Mariners goal being only a consolation.<\/p>\n
Will Brook was forced into a save early on as Charles Vernam ran through on goal, with Harvey Rodgers unable to make use of the rebound.<\/p>\n
Shrewsbury took the lead in the 19th minute through former Grimsby loanee Lloyd, who got the final touch as the ball was headed into his path from a corner.<\/p>\n
The visitors doubled their lead on the hour when McMahon-Brown struck a well-controlled volley into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n
Justin Amaluzor had a close-range effort blocked well from a long throw, and Edon Pruti shot just wide from a cutback, but it was substitute Cartwright who headed Grimsby’s reply in the 75th minute, provided by another replacement – Iwan Morgan.<\/p>\n
