Rotherham United’s Academy returned to winning ways in the Youth Alliance League as they turned in an assured performance to record a 3-0 victory over Hartlepool United.

The Millers youngsters eased their way past Pools at Roundwood, with goals from Jake Hull, Luke Hodgkinson and Jacob Gratton sealing the points.

The result came after a difficult afternoon at Grimsby Town three weeks previously, before the Academy were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Mansfield Town in their last match action.
