and live on Freeview channel 276
Not content with a brace away at Mansfield Town on Friday night, Umerah added his sixth goal of the season against Doncaster in midweek to give Pools a deserved first-half lead.

McDonald said: “Josh is a top guy on and off the field. He works hard, he’s a handful, strong, always willing to run in-behind, battle with defenders and score goals. He’s a top, top guy.
“If anything he complements my game because a big man up top I can play off him but he can also run in-behind and interchange quite a lot, I can use him as a balance and things like that.”
