Harrogate Town secured their first home win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Yorkshire rivals Doncaster Rovers on Thursday night.

The Sulphurites are now unbeaten in their last five games against table-topping Rovers, who were undone by first-half goals from Ellis Taylor and Josh March.

After standing firm against some early pressure from the visitors, Harrogate hit their stride and took the lead on 27 minutes after an inviting James Daly cross was expertly nodded into the far corner by Taylor for Town's first goal of the campaign at the Exercise Stadium.

Simon Weaver's side then managed to double their advantage just before the break, as a long clearance forward saw March race clear in stoppage time, before bundling the ball beyond Teddy Sharman-Lowe in the Doncaster net.

The result sees Harrogate climb to 13th in the Sky Bet League Two standings, whilst Doncaster missed the chance to go four points clear at the summit ahead of the weekend fixtures.
