League Two Betting Review - 13 February 2006
Grimsby Town are the new leaders of League Two after beating
Boston United 1-0 at Blundell Park. Michael Reddy's goal after
72 minutes was enough to secure the Mariners' second win in a
row at odds of 9/10.
Last week's leaders Carlisle United were held to a tense
goalless draw at promotion rivals Leyton Orient. Draw backers
could have got on at 23/10 with Carlisle now two points behind
Grimsby.
Third placed Wycombe Wanderers fought back from two goals down
at home to draw 2-2 with relegation strugglers Mansfield Town.
Jon Olav-Hjelde and Richie Barker put the Stags 2-0 ahead after
33 minutes, but goals from Tommy Mooney and Stefan Oakes denied
an unlikely 9/2 away victory.
Northampton Town squandered the chance to move in to the top
three by losing 3-1 at Cheltenham Town. Steve Guinan, Kayode
Odejayi and JJ Melligan ensured a home win at 6/4.
Rushden & Diamonds refuse to go down without a fight and Petr
Miklonda's 30 yard strike gave them all three points against
Notts County. Barry Hunter's side, 8/5 on the day, have lost
just one of their last five games.
Bottom club Stockport County also earned a vital win at
faltering Chester City. Liam Dickinson broke the deadlock for
County after 76 minutes but Ryan Lowe equalised for City five
minutes later. With the match heading for a draw Dickinson
grabbed the vital 5/2 winner a minute from time to keep the
Hatters just one point from safety.
Meanwhile, Torquay United remain in deep trouble after losing
2-0 at Lincoln City. Scott Kerr after 12 minutes and a last
minute goal from Jeff Hughes secured a 5/6 win for the Imps.
Macclesfield Town vs Wrexham, Rochdale vs Barnet and Bury vs
Oxford were all called off due to frozen pitches.
