Goals from Ash Palmer and debutant Tom Walker put Stockport in a commanding position inside the opening 25-minutes and they were unfortunate not to be further ahead going in at half-time.
The Hatters soaked up the Pools pressure for the majority of the second half with Nicke Kabamba pulling a goal back late on in the game. A second never came which means it’s now one win in seven for Craig Hignett's side.

13. Nicke Kabamba (on for James 63) - 6
Headed over with his first touch but got off the mark for the season with a rebound finish from close range. | Other 3rd Party Photo: Mark Fletcher
14. Gavan Holohan - n/a
On for the final stages and played a key role in helping Pools pull a goal back simply by having a shot on target. Should really be getting more minutes in this under performing Pools side. | Other 3rd Party Photo: Mark Fletcher
