Local footballer, Luke Molyneux, helps Hartlepool reach the semi-final of the Papa John’s Trophy Cup. Luke was named Player of the Round in the Hartlepool quarter final game against Charlton Athletic. Luke came off the bench in the 73rd minute to score the equaliser which then went to a penalty shoot out when he scored again. Hartlepool won 5-4 on penalties. The semi-final takes place on Wednesday 9th March at the Suit Direct Stadium, Hartlepool against Rotherham. Over 7,000 tickets have already been sold and the game is also being televised on SKY. Should Hartlepool win this game it will be a Wembley final.
All the family went along to the Meet and Greet at Hartlepool on Tuesday to see the Papa John Trophy Cup and meet the Manager Graeme Lee and support their son, Luke Molyneux.
