Matchday recap: Hartlepool v King's Lynn Town

King’s Lynn Town were beaten 2-0 at Hartlepool United in the National League. 

A surprise start for striker Michael Gash - his first of the season - failed to provide the necessary boost for the visitors. 

Hartlepool’s new signing Luke Armstrong got both goals, after 20 minutes and then seven minutes into the second half, although Adam Marriott uncharacteristically missed an open goal that might have brought Lynn back into the game. 

Lynn are at home to Torquay on Saturday.
