World Cup hopes for Hartlepool RNLI crew members
Hartlepool RNLI volunteers are flying the flag for the England football team as the semi-final match against Croatia approaches.
Volunteer crew member Darren Killick said: ‘We are all keen to see the team do well on Wednesday night after the fantastic win against the Swedish team last Saturday.
‘Win or lose I’m sure the England team will do their best and hopefully we will have plenty to smile about during our own Thursday night training session the following day at the Ferry Road lifeboat station’.
