Harrogate Town 0 Stockport County 1 ( League Cup- First Round) Tuesday 9 August 2022
Wetherby Road was the scene of a welcome turn around in County`s early season fortunes as the blues rewarded a decent Tuesday night away following with a thoroughly well-deserved win in the First Round of the League Cup against Harrogate Town tonight. The Yorkshire side were widely expected to win this one not least due to County`s indifferent form previously in the league, but DC`s men had other ideas and the much-changed side rewarded the manager`s confidence with a nicely judged victory. The blues were much changed from Saturday and if no one let the side down some shone like beacons on a muggy but rapidly darkening night. You can look no further than Lewis for County`s star man – he was simply tremendous throughout and quite definitely in his best position smack in the middle of the back line. Johnno stood out as well to Lewis`s left. Brown did well too and I must say that Jaros looked the part as well between the sticks. In the end though excellent teamwork
