The home side were ahead within seven minutes of kick-off when January signing Adan George held off his man to fire firmly past goalkeeper Craig Ross, scoring his first goal for the club.
George might have doubled his tally with 20 minutes gone, but this time Ross was able to repel his attempt and he was equal to the task once again when Jack Jenkins took aim five minutes later.
The visitors got themselves back into it with 12 minutes remaining when Tobi Sho-Silva levelled, and Ross kept his side in it with a fine late save from Kane Thompson-Summers.
However, the keeper’s efforts were to count for nothing as Cosgrave won it in the seventh minute of added time.
Rob Harker fired the visitors ahead after 31 minutes with a superb long-range strike.

Jonathan Ustabasi scored a first-half brace before Connor Ellis Barrett’s 71st-minute strike made it four wins in five matches.

Ustabasi then wrapped up the win with a third goal late on.
Stuart O’Keefe and Jack Barham combined smartly for Lorent Tolaj to give the Shots a fifth-minute lead.
Ian Henderson swiftly equalised with his 11th goal of the season, but Aldershot were back in front two minutes before the break when O’Keefe was brought down and Cian Harries dispatched the penalty.
Barham ended a neat team move after 51 minutes to complete the victory and move the Shots up to seventh in the table.
The Shots started strongly with Daly going just wide and Stuart O’Keefe and Haji Mnoga threatening amid a goalmouth scramble.
They finally forced their way in front eight minutes before the break when Daly timed his run to perfection to meet Ryan Glover’s cross and headed past keeper Mathew Hudson.
The home side looked certain to extend their lead four minutes after the restart when Lorent Tolaj beat the offside trap to run on to Glover’s through-ball, but having rounded Hudson, he saw Harrison McGahey clear his tame attempt off the line despite stumbling and then prevent Josh Stokes from converting the rebound.
Tolaj had a second chance to get his name on the scoresheet from the penalty spot 16 minutes from time after being felled by Hudson, but his smashed his attempt against the post, and it was left to Frost to wrap up the win with a second in stoppage time.
Emmanuel Dieseruvwe had looked to have set Hartlepool on their way to an away win, acrobatically opening the scoring two minutes before the hour when he converted a corner from Nicky Featherstone.

Reece Grego-Cox pulled one back with a close-range header in the last minute of normal time but the visitors held on for the win despite having Joshua Stokes sent off for a second bookable offence in added time.

The Shots were thrashed 5-0 at home by Fylde on Tuesday – their first defeat in five games – but goals from Tyler Frost and Lorent Tolaj saw them down Altrincham.

Tommy Widdrington’s men then doubled their lead three minutes into first-half stoppage time following a rapid counter-attack.
Jack Barham’s low shot was pushed out by visiting keeper Matt Gould and Shots’ top scorer Tolaj pounced to rifle in his 15th league goal of the season.

The Shots, who had lost to relegation battlers York last weekend, created an early opening when captain Lorent Tolaj dragged an angled effort wide before Theo Widdrington’s drive was turned around the post by Moors keeper Nick Hayes.
Moors broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute when Tahvon Campbell turned in a flick-on at the near post by defender James Clarke from a corner.
Aldershot, though, were level with just two minutes left after Moors defender Richard Stearman was shown a red card for tripping Tolaj in the box, and Cian Harries coolly converted the resulting spot-kick.

The Shots forward looked to be in an offside position and both managers were booked as tempers flared, but Cian Harries kept his cool to convert the spot-kick.
Dagenham boss Ben Strevens was then shown a red card before Lorent Tolaj headed the visitors in front in the 72nd minute.
Ryan Hill finished off a swift counter-attack to pull the home side level with eight minutes left and after Effiong was denied by the woodwork, the Daggers thought they had won it through Dion Pereira’s strike.
There was still time for Aldershot to level, though, as Josh Barrett found the top corner with a free-kick.
Gateshead had goalkeeper Nathan Harness sent off in the 47th minute for bringing down James Daly outside the box and, with no stopper on the bench, Louis Storey went between the posts for the rest of the night.
Storey made a good save to keep out Cian Harries’ free-kick in the 51st minute, but could do nothing as the visitors took the lead 10 minutes later.
Thomas got on the end of a looping cross from Josh Barrett to head in, and it proved enough for a win that puts them one point above FC Halifax, who host Oldham on Thursday.

Last season’s National League North champions went behind in the 12th minute when Reece Smith nicked the ball off a defender and slotted home.
