Gavan Holohan’s second half header was cancelled out by a close range volley from Stockport’s Paddy Madden with 12-minutes remaining.
It sees Pools remain second in the National League table, four points behind Sutton United with a nine point gap between them and Stockport in fourth place.

Could do little about Stockport’s goal but made a fine save to deny Elliot Newby moments earlier. Also stopped Macauley Southam-Hales coming back to haunt the side with a smart stop. Photo: Frank Reid
