Mariners striker misses Minstermen

fa trophy: Former Leeds United striker Anthony Elding will be missing today for Grimsby Town to give Blue Square promotion-chasers York City a huge lift before the two clubs’ quarter-final encounter.

The 29-year-old has scored in every round of the Mariners’ run to the last eight but is suspended for the tie at Blundell Park after being found guilty of making an inflammatory gesture towards fans of his old club Lincoln City earlier this season.
