HARTLEPOOL United's long unbeaten run goes on - but they will be disappointed they could only manage a 1-1 draw with struggling Halifax at Victoria Park.

Pool's run extends to November 25 last year - a run of 21 Division Three games and is the longest unbeaten stretch in English football this season.

Paul Bracewell's side took a shock lead when Michael Proctor - on loan from Sunderland - got in behind the Pool defence and finished neatly.

But just 60 seconds later Pool were level when Paul Stephenson's inswinging corner fooled goalkeeper Craig Mawson and the custodian could only push it into his own net.

Halifax's gameplan was to pack the defence and stifle Pool's attacking options and in the second half they did just that.
