History of the Barnet v Grimsby Town fixture

Barnet prepare to entertain Grimsby Town at Underhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Out of their two previous meetings, the Bees have lost both.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Underhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in December 2006, with Grimsby Town inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Bees in a League Two match.
