Ben Wilkinson and Luke Sharry scored for City’s reserves but they finished on the wrong end of a 4-2 scoreline at Hartlepool United in totesport.com Division One East.

Just two days after putting four past Scunthorpe United, the tables were turned as the Bantams’ second string shipped four themselves.

Seven of Junior Lewis’ squad started both matches and the effort appeared to take its toll on his players at a sunny Victoria Park.

Trialist Wilkinson cancelled out an early Pools goal but the hosts then took full control to move 4-1 up before Sharry struck eight minutes from time.
