Harrogate Town secured an FA Cup third qualifying round tie with a 2-0 win at New Mills.

An own goal followed by Graeme Armstrong's penalty took Simon Weaver's side safely through.

Weaver told BBC Radio York: "I'm delighted with the win because it was vital to get a little bit of confidence after last week.

"It's important to get some much needed revenue into the club and we'll try and go as far as we can."

He added: "The lads carried out the instructions well and got the two goals.

"I thought the first 20 minutes we played a good game. It was a professional job well done.

"Second half it wasn't flowing but it was an FA Cup tie and we kept a clean sheet and we're delighted we're through to the next round."
