3 FISH on the SHIRT — Season Two, Episode 50 

A landmark episode. A landmark week. Two Grimsby Town performances that felt like the club planting a flag in the turf and daring League Two to look away.

This season's 50th instalment of 3 FISH on the SHIRT breaks down a pair of matches that will live long in the memory, the kind supporters talk about years later, with that unmistakable mix of pride, disbelief and “I was there”.

We start at the Abbey Stadium, where high‑flying Cambridge United were dragged into a trench battle by a Grimsby side refusing to bow to anyone. A late, ice‑cold finish from Cam McJannet, struck with the conviction of a man who simply knew, sealed a 2–1 away win that felt like a statement of intent.

But if Cambridge was the statement, Blundell Park delivered the exclamation mark.

Against playoff rivals Swindon Town — and with the pantomime villain himself, Ian “Runaway” Holloway, back in the building, The Mariners produced a 4–0 demolition that will be spoken about in the same breath as the great home performances of the modern era. Jaze Kabia delivered the kind of folklore‑ready moment that defines seasons: a perfect hat‑trick (left foot, right foot, header), each finish more ruthless than the last. And then came Maldini Kacurri, rising like a centre‑half carved from marble to thunder home a header that shook the old ground.

This wasn’t just a win. It was a statement of identity, aggressive, fearless, unapologetically Grimsby Town.

Across the episode, we break down:

• Tactical shifts that unlocked both victories

• Kabia’s emergence as a genuine match‑winner

• Why McJannet’s late strike matters more than just three points

• The Holloway subplot — and why BP’s reaction still echoes

• What these results mean for the run‑in, the table, and the belief around the club

If you care about Grimsby Town, missing this episode isn’t an option. Not watching the highlights? Unthinkable. Not listening to this breakdown? Borderline irresponsible.

This is one of the best home league performances at Blundell Park in years, wrapped inside a milestone episode of the podcast that tells the story the way only Mariners can.

Season Two, Episode 50. A celebration. A turning point. A must‑listen.

UP THE MARINERS!!
