Goals by George Thomson, Connor Hall and Jack Diamond saw Harrogate spring into the fourth tier and deservedly so.

They dominated the first-half but scored only twice and it looked like they may regret that when Callum Roberts replied for County just after half-time. But Harrogate redoubled their efforts and Diamond made sure.

Harrogate had finished second in the National League standings, a place ahead of Notts County. The gap between them was only three points or, in this Covid world of mathematical averages, 0.12 of a point.

It suggested a nip and tuck game with little between the sides. The first-half, however, proved anything but. Harrogate completely dominated, scored twice and should have had at least one more.
