PETER Hartley was a last-minute withdrawl from the Hartlepool United team at Exeter this afternoon.

After naming the same starting XI for the third game in a row, Chris Turner was forced into a late change when his left back suffered a hip injury in the pre-match warm-up.

His place in the side was taken by Steve Haslam and Turner was left with six substitutes on the bench.
