Two goals from Liam Hearn helped Mansfield Town to a 3-1 success over the Imps in Tuesday night's pre-season friendly at Sincil Bank.
Prior to Hearn's half-time introduction, a close-range Hamza Bencherif header had levelled an earlier Fergus Bell strike, but it was the former Grimsby striker's late brace that settled the outcome; his first coming in the 70th minute and his second six minutes later
