QUIZ TIME with The Non-League Paper: Who are the first team to reach the FA Trophy final as a Football League club?
Harrogate Town booked their place at Wembley against Concord Rangers and guaranteed a place in the sport round of pub quizzes up and down the country after doing just that.
Simon Weaver’s side may have kicked off the 2020-21 season, but they still have a 201920 commitment and, thanks to Will Smith’s header, that will continue a while yet.
These two met at Wembley not all that long ago in the National League promotion final. Town blew Neal Ardley’s Notts County away that day running out 3-1 winners to seal promotion to the EFL for the first time in club history.
Life there has got off to a decent start and that competitive match sharpness was clear to see as Ardley’s side, in the midst of their pre-season, couldn’t quite sustain the pressure they needed to force extra time.
