Both teams came onto the pitch looking for the win. Hartlepool put up an incredible fight and took an early lead. The Mighty Maroons fought back as they pushed back up the scoreboard in the second half but, alas, it wasn't quite enough - Hartlepool took the victory 40-33.

Well done to all of the players and a big thank you to all of the supporters who came along. And thank you for the hospitality, Hartlepool Rugby Club!
