League Two roundup: Hartlepool United move out of relegation zone

Sports Mole rounds up Saturday's League Two action as Hartlepool United climb out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 victory over Cambridge United.

Hartlepool United climbed out of the League Two relegation zone after goals from Brad Walker and Scott Harrison sealed all three points against Cambridge United.

Bury's clash with playoff rivals Southend United was abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch.

Shrewsbury Town closed the gap on leaders Burton Albion to just two points as Bobby Grant's brace secured an away victory against Portsmouth.

Wycombe Wanderers also move to within two points of the Brewers after edging out Dagenham & Redbridge to pick up all three points.

Reuben Reid netted his 16th and 17th goals of the season in Plymouth Argyle's 3-0 win over Cheltenham Town, who now replace Ronnie Moore's side at the foot of League Two.

Tranmere Rovers's George Green scored a 94th-minute equaliser to cancel out Adebayo Akinfenwa's opener for AFC Wimbledon.

Ten-man York City comfortably beat Mansfield Town 4-1 away from home, despite being a man down for the majority of the game.

Alex Nicholls rescued a point for Exeter City at home to Morecambe, after the attacker equalised with 10 minutes of normal time left.

Northampton Town completed their comeback from being a goal down early on in the second half, beating Luton Town 2-1 thanks to James Gray's late winner.

Oxford United overcame 10-man Carlisle United as Kyle Vassell netted an 80th-minute winner, after Pat Hoban had scored a first-half equaliser for the home side.
