Grimsby Town pulled off a surprise 1-0 away victory against promotion-chasing Notts County in English Football League Two on February 28, 2026. This result at Meadow Lane was a major upset and a significant boost for Grimsby's battle against relegation. The only goal of the game came against the run of play in the 55th minute, a clinical finish on the break after Notts County lost possession in midfield. Notts County, who had thrashed an opponent 5-0 just a week earlier, dominated possession and created numerous chances but were repeatedly denied by a heroic performance from Grimsby's goalkeeper. The home side hit the woodwork twice and had a strong penalty appeal turned down in the final minutes. This defeat was a costly stumble for Notts County's automatic promotion ambitions, while the three points provided Grimsby Town with a vital lifeline in their fight for survival. The Notts County manager expressed frustration at his team's profligacy, and the Grimsby boss hailed the win as a "monumental effort" from his players.
