Walsall welcomed Grimsby Town to Poundland Bescot Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they faced off in their latest League Two outing of the 2023/24 campaign.
There were no goals in the first forty-five but, sadly for the Saddlers, the same couldn't be said for the second as seven minutes into the half Abo Eisa grabbed his fourth goal of the season to put the visitors into the lead.
Walsall were eventually able to restore parity late in the game as summer signing Ryan Stirk finished off a move that saw Ross Tierney's blocked effort deflect into his path.
We'll have a comprehensive Match Report on BescotBanter.net from 5.15pm!
