Manager to be Dave Challinor watched from the stands as Jake Beesley’s header proved to be the difference in a closely fought contest at The Vic.

Pools pushed for an equaliser but it wasn’t to be as the result confirmed a first home defeat since September and a first defeat for Sweeney as caretaker manager.
