Harrogate Town's FA Cup run ends

Neil Aspin has never taken Harrogate Town into the FA Cup proper

Harrogate Town are out of the FA Cup after losing their third qualifying round replay.

They were beaten by Unibond League side Eastwood Town 2-0 and played most of the game with 10 men after James Dean was sent off.

Harrogate Town manager Neil Aspin told BBC Radio York: "When it's the FA Cup, it's always the financial implications that are the harshest.

"To go out of the competition means you lose revenue which we badly need."

He added: "That puts more pressure on me. So it's my job to try and pick the players up and see if we can get a result on Saturday.

"I'd love to do well in the FA Cup. I think it's a brilliant competition. Every year you'd love to do well. I'd like to think that the players are really disappointed."
