Harrogate Town overturned Nationwide North leaders Southport in a thrilling 3-2 win.

Town twice trailed to the hosts who scored through Kevin Leadbetter and the league's leading marksman Terry Fearns last night.

But each time Town roared back. Danny Holland scored after neat work from ex-York City man Lee Nogan before Dominic Krief hit the second leveller from the penalty spot just after the hour mark.

Then, with just four minutes to go Town applied the coup de grace when Holland's cross was headed home by striker Marc Smith.

Meanwhile, Pickering Town got the result they least desired, a goal-less draw in their Northern Counties East League President's Cup semi-final that means a replay against Buxton.
