An Aaron Jackson hattrick helped FC Hartlepool dump Albion out of the County Cup at the Oldhaulage Stadium and gain some revenge for the 0-5 drubbing in the league handed out to them by RACA two weeks earlier. Despite RACA leading 2-1 at half time from goals from Dan Craggs and Louis Calvert, Pool claimed their Durham Challenge Cup last eight berth with three second half goals albeit two very late ones & two from the penalty spot & inflict Albion’s first cup defeat of the season.
