Grimsby returned to the football league after a six year absence with victory over Forest Green in the play off final.Grimsby, who lost on penalties last year to Bristol Rovers, had seen Arnold long range shot was tipped on to the post before taking the lead at wembley. Two quickfore goals from Omar Bogle put Grimsby in the lead just before half time. Bogle glanced from Jon Nolan's free kick to open the scoring. Shortly after that, Bogle volleyed in from six yards to double Grimsby lead.
Parkin only hit the side netting from Forest Green best chance, before Marsh-Brown's dipping shot gave Forest Green Rovers hope. But Grimsby, fourth consecutive play off final, scored a late third goal from Arnold. Arnold, who had a low shot saved 15 minutes from time, completed the win in stoppage time, tucking in to the rebound to end Forest's hopes.
