Harrogate Town 1 Bradford City 2: Sulphurites 'didn't deserve' derby defeat
The Sulphurites delivered a much-improved performance and even managed a long-overdue goal from open play, but they still ended up on the losing side, going down 2-1 at Wetherby Road.
Jaheim Headley rattled home a 47th-minute equaliser to cancel out Andy Cook’s early penalty, but with the hosts looking the more likely, they were stung on the counter-attack by Tyreik Wright.

Weaver, however, believes that his side did enough to have at least come away with something.
“The performance was an improvement again. We are getting better but it’s a tough school, two mistakes, two goals and we have lost the game,” he told the Harrogate Advertiser.
“We looked very competitive and I’d say we were on top for a large part of the game. We were thinking that we looked the more likely at 1-1. I thought we were on the verge of that second goal. I thought if either team was going to get it, it would be us.
