League Two: Stevenage 3-0 Harrogate Town

Paul Tisdale's Boro eased to three points against their Yorkshire opponents in front of 2,935 fans the Lamex on Saturday afternoon.

Jake Reeves had time and space to hit a sweetly-timed volley past Harrogate keeper Mark Oxley to put Boro 1-0 ahead as early as the eighth minute.

While questions might well have been asked if the visitors shotstopper could have perhaps done better to keep the strike out, the home side dominated proceedings.

A second goal duly arrived when Luke Norris stuck with a neat low effort from outside the box, after setting up keeper Oxley - whose positioning had to be questioned as the home side made it 2-0.

Despite Oxley's underwhelming display it was a good start for Tisdale's Boro with only 22 minutes gone.

Tisdale's former captain at Exeter, Jake Taylor sealed the well-deserved victory when he cut inside to fire past Oxley and make it 3-0 with 10 minutes remaining.

The triumph saw Boro move to 17th spot in the table, as they made it two wins and two draws from their last four league games.

As for sorry Harrogate and their hardy 118 travelling fans to North Herts, the defeat made it four losses in their last five games.
