A record-crowd stole the headlines as Pools overcame a valiant Redcar.
It was a day to remember when Hartlepool United last visited the Hollou Sports Stadium, as matters on the pitch were overshadowed by a historic attendance.
A record crowd of 1’781 braved the violent downpours to watch what proved a Pools masterclass. Layton Watts struck early for the Steelmen, but his efforts were soon undone by sheer class from the National League outfit.
MATCH REPORT
Ash Stone penned the report from our 5-1 defeat at the hands of Hartlepool United.
Our big moment came inside five minutes with the rain falling. Danny Boyle worked to regain possession, and Layton Watts famously streaked off in celebration having picked out the top corner.
Mani Dieseruvwe and Josh Umerah reversed the scoreline come the break, with further strikes from Joe Gray and Chris Wreh rounding out Pools’ assault.
