After an uneventful first half, Pools took the lead through Gavan Holohan before Sam Smart levelled things up for the visitors straight away with a fine half-volleyed finish.

Mark Shelton restored the hosts’ lead with his first goal for the club which proved to be enough to secure the three points.
