Gritton has now hit five goals in 5 games since coming to Field Mill on loan from Lincoln, a deal which will see him in a Stags shirt until the end of the season at lease.
He told the Mansfield CHAD after the game "It was a great performance by the lads . . . and it's just great to score a hat-trick.
"It wasn't a pretty hat-trick, but a hat-trick nonetheles and a night I will never forget."
"I might have been offside for the first goal, but I just put it in anyway. That's the second lucky goal at that end in the last two home games, but I was just delighted to get it.
