Hartlepool United v Chesterfield, 19 August 2000

After relegation last season, Chesterfield topped the division with a 100% record after two games. The Spireites fell behind to a goal after 43 seconds last week, and they stayed level for a full minute at Hartlepool before Kevin Henderson fired home after Mike Pollitt had saved Lee Fitzpatrick's deflected shot. The visitors were soon back on level terms though as former Darlington centre-back Steve Tutill bagged his first goal for his new club. Nicky Laws' team continued to grow in confidence and, although an end-to-end game appeared to heading towards a draw, they secured a deserved victory. Subs Jonathan Howard and Roger Willis combined for Willis to convert Chesterfield's second headed goal.
