A hat-trick for Alan Massey and another for Danilo Orsi saw the visitors end Pools’ 13 game unbeaten run at Victoria Park as a sublime Rhys Oates solo goal and a late consolation from Danny Elliott weren't enough.
Ryheem Sheckleford was sent off in the first half for Maidenhead but that didn’t stop the visitors securing a comfortable win.

Another frustrating afternoon for the Fleetwood Town loanee. Had a good chance in the first half at the front post but couldn’t find the target. Photo: Lewis Storey
11. Luke Molyneux - 5
Hit the post with a decent effort. Trying too hard to make things happen at times and wasn’t always on the same wavelength as his teammates. Photo: FRANK REID 2020

On for Shelton 53: Squandered quite a few good opportunities to get back into the game before finally finding the net with a good header. Photo: Clive Brunskill
