Swindon 0 Hartlepool 2 

Coca-Cola League One

 

RESULT: Swindon Town 0 Hartlepool Town 2

 

Hartlepool scorers: Brown 3, Monkhouse 30

 

Former Town player Andy Monkhouse put paid to Swindon's eleven game unbeaten run in a performance manager Danny Wilson described as 'bitterly disappointing'.

 

The winger - who ironically was signed by Wilson from Town when he was the Hartlepool boss - fired home decisively on the half hour after the visitors had stunned the County Ground as early as the third minute.

 

James Brown putting the Monkey Hangars ahead with a soft header after Town keeper Dave Lucas hesitated at the near post.

 

"Although we were better in the second half, their goals left us with too much to do," Wilson commented.

 

Swindon fall to seventh.
