Adam Bartlett 6 – poor punch resulted in Harrogate’s winning goal, but represented a rare mistake this season

Nathan Dyer 6 – looked a mismatch against home winger Leesley early on, but refused to throw towel in

Joe Davis 7 – defended with determination to make countless tackles and interceptions

Kennedy Digie 6 – might have done better for hosts’ equaliser and lucky to get away with some risky play at other times

David Ferguson 7 – looked a real threat when charging forwards and kept Thomson relatively quiet

Kallum Griffiths 7 – always willing to make blocks and pressure the ball in midfield anchoring role

Josh Law 6 – tidy enough on the ball and positionally disciplined without influencing attacking moves

Lewis Hawkins 6 – played on front foot and pushed team up the field, but missed great first-half chance

Wes York 7 – ensured team had two wide outlets with his willing runs down right flank

Jordan Burrow 7 – played well with his back to goal, holding ball up and bringing team-mates into the game

Alex Bray 7 – showed smart opportunism for his goal and troubled Kitching with direct running

Substitutes: Alex Harris 6 – bright (for Hawkins, 54), Macaulay Langstaff (for Bray, 71), Joe Ironside (for Law, 85).

Subs not used: Joe Tait, Dan Parslow.

Star man: York
