HARTLEPOOL United will face Blackpool in the Third Division play-offs next week.

Pool beat already promoted Cardiff 3-1 at Victoria Park and Steve McMahon's side secured a top-seven finish with a 3-1 win at Darlington.

Pool fell one behind to Rob Earnshaw's early strike, but turned it round to secure win number three in a row.

Miller and Lormor combined for Craig Midgley to net from close range and Lormor put Pool in front when he capitalised on a defensive error on 62 minutes. Miller then bagged goal number 21 of the season when he raced into the penalty area and netted low past Mark Walton.

Pool travel to Bloomfield Road a week on Sunday, with the second leg at Victoria Park on May 16.
