Man of the match Jimmy Swindon had a great game chasing down the opposition in their half and created numerous chances for himself, but was unable to capitalise but made good viewing for the spectators. Harrogate capitalised on further short corners making the score 3-1.
The game was close and battled for until the final whistle, as it felt like a goal could have been coming at any time in the second half from the slaz forwards who continued to create good chances.
Robin Brearton and Matt Middleton both had excellent games against a good opposition and kept calm under pressure.
