and live on Freeview channel 276
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.

8: Another shot on target for Pools
Gavan Holohan tests Lovett with a low drive from 25-yards. A comfortable stop.
7: Orsi with a huge chance!
Odusina gives the ball away cheaply and it eventually comes to Orsi with time and space in the Pools boss but he scoops it over the bar from 15-yards. Big, big miss.
5: Save from Ravas!
It pin balls in the Pools penalty area following a corner and Barratt’s close range header forces a smart diving save from Ravas.
The resulting corner is cleared by Pools.
