CITY reserves went down 2-0 at home to Hartlepool in the Pontin's Cup yesterday.

Richard Cooper, Liam George, Stuart Wise and on-loan Middlesbrough midfielder Craig Dove were all given run-outs.

Manager Chris Brass said: "The young lads did themselves justice and we got no injuries which was probably the best thing that came out of the game."
