A quiet afternoon for the returning goalkeeper, who was only really forced into one save from Jack Bridge's second half strike. Photo: Mark Fletcher
2. David Ferguson - 7
Made one vital defensive contribution to thwart Cardwell and his crosses from the left were probably the home side's biggest threat. Photo: Mark Fletcher
3. Tom Parkes - 8
A typically impressive performance as his leadership, experience and football intelligence helped Pools to a rare clean sheet. Photo: Mark Fletcher
4. Luke Waterfall - 7
Another strong showing, Waterfall forms a formidable partnership with Parkes and the pair hardly gave 15-goal Cardwell a sniff. Photo: Mark Fletcher
