Sam Foley and Theo Vassell headed in the goals for the away side from corners in the first half, with Grimsby responding just before half-time through Kieran Green. The Bluebirds held on for the three points as the hosts pushed for an equaliser in the second half.
Clemence felt his team should have been further ahead at the break, but was impressed with the resilience they showed in the end.
He professed: “I’m really pleased with them, I thought we played really well in the first half and were the dominant team with the only criticism being that we didn’t score more goals with the amount of times we broke forward.
