All Of Tuesday Night’s National League & FA Trophy Action

Stockport County had a nightmare before Christmas - they were thrashed at Hartlepool United and lost two players to red cards.

The early dismissal of Ash Palmer swung things firmly in the hosts’ favour.

Rhys Oates, Ryan Johnson and a double from Luke Armstrong did the damage for a rampant Pools side.

County’s woe was compounded when talisman John Rooney picked up a red card in the second half.

FC Halifax Town are saying goodbye to 2020 in style.

The Shaymen defeated Eastleigh 3-1 for their fourth win in five league matches.

Nyal Bell’s screamed put the seal on the victory after first half Kieran Green and Jamie Allen goals.

The Shaymen have now scored an incredible 20 goals in their past six matches in all competitions.
