Stags played a strong side though did not risk Hayden White and Alfie Potter, who were due to train with the rest of the first team with one eye on a comeback this weekend after injury.

CJ Hamilton, Jimmy Spencer and Omari Sterling-James all forced saves from Mariners’ keeper Ben Killip before Angol broke through on 16 minutes, capitalising from close range after Spencer had chipped the ball over the keeper.

On 32 minutes Angol doubled his tally from the spot after Sterling-James had been brought down by Jason Akiotu.
