Rebels manager Karl Marginson, who played league football for Rotherham and Macclesfield, went to watch his two players as the Mariners' reserves lost 2-1 at York.
"The Grimsby assistant manager said both of them acquitted themselves well," said Marginson.
"Will plays with great maturity for a 19-year-old and is a real players' player, while Rory has now got his head sorted after the hard knock of being released by Rochdale after being their Young Player of the Year."
FC, who face Cheadle at Gigg Lane tomorrow, need two more goals to reach 100 in the Moore and Co Construction Solicitors League this season, and need a maximum of nine points from their last six games to be sure of promotion. Tweet

The last time we played Cheadle at Stockport County they gave a good account of themselves. The game finished honours even, but looking at the league table, it seems to me Cheadle are the type of team that generally go all our for the win or lose. It should be a good game. As and when Rory and Will move on, I wish them all the best and hope they leave with great memories of FC and a NWCFL Div.2. winners gong. The MRE will be closed on Saturday so I will give the Cemetery road end a try. Lets go for the hundred goals. Last chance to see this months highlights on Channel M today. Programme listings on the back of the MEN. Viva la revolution, come on FC.
Free Read why no directions to the Cemetry Road end? Presumably the Manchester Road End leads to Manchester. Isn't that where your club claims to be? What level would you put Grimsby reserves at in terms of the pyramid?
We need to keep our form going and take maximum points from Cheadle this weekend. We beat them convincingly in the cup and then we were very sloppy in the league.
I wish Rory and Will all the best if their moves come off. Both will be fondly remembered as integeral parts of our inuagural season.
The raised media profile that FC United have means that players know that they will get noticed playing for us where they might not with other clubs in the NWCFL. Lets hope we can attract more quality young players and be a stepping stone for them to bigger and better things.
Sean all you have got to do to keep attracting loyal FC players is paying a lot more than other teams in the league. Thats the CheFCski way to success.
Apparently Grimsby are going to bid two pints and a packet of crisps. The crisps to be paid incrementally.
