The Seasiders reserve team recorded a 1-0 win over Tranmere Rovers on Wednesday night.

Pool who included first team hopefuls Marc Joseph, Danny Coid, Kaspars Gorkss, Simon Gillett and Marcus Bean were made to work hard by a inexperienced Tranmere side.

The only goal of the game came shortly before half time when Simon Gillett reacted the quickest to fire home after Ben Hinchcliffe had saved Gillett's penalty.

Matthew Kay came close to adding a second mid way through the second half but his rasping strike whistled just over.

Pool (3-5-2) Clancy, Gorkss (Holt 65), Joseph, Lawlor, Metcalfe, Gillett (Lloyd 45), Bean, Kay, Coid (Penswick 65), Ogden, Mitcheley

Pool's next reserve game is on Wednesday when the Seasiders travel to Deepdale to take on Preston North End, kick off 7pm
