Geza David Turi scores a screamer for Grimsby vs Bristol Rovers!<\/span>

The Mariners took the lead in the 22nd minute through Green, who nipped in to score as Riley Harbottle underweighted his headed pass back to goalkeeper Brad Young.<\/p>\n

Turi gave the hosts breathing room in the 40th minute with a breathtaking strike from distance, firing the ball into the top right corner of Young’s net.<\/p>\n

As frustrations grew for the visitors, their task of getting back in the game was made much more difficult after 75 minutes, with Tommy Leigh shown a straight red for an off-ball altercation with Mark Shelton.<\/p>\n

Turi missed from point-blank range shortly after to wrap up the game but, down a man, Rovers were unable to muster a reply.<\/p>\n

What the result means and next fixtures…<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
