County returned to League Two action in terrific style by winning in the autumn sunshine at Harrogate, and thereby going to the top of the table with a two-point cushion.
Antoni Sarcevic struck early in the first half to put the Hatters ahead, and they built further on their lead following the resumption, with an own goal and a Will Collar header, for an eighth straight victory in all competitions - despite a consolation penalty for the hosts 18 minutes from time.
The Hatters took to the field on a sunny and fresh North Yorkshire afternoon, and with the same starting line-up as they had put out for their last three L2 fixtures - but showing 10 changes from that at Salford in the EFL Trophy during midweek. There was one revision among the substitutes named for Doncaster’s visit to Edgeley Park the previous weekend - with Myles Hippolyte returning from a knee injury that had hitherto kept him sidelined for the current campaign to date, and replacing Joel Cotterill who was on international duty with the Welsh Under-21 squad.
After a quiet opening, the game rather sprung into life with half a dozen minutes on the clock, as Kayne Ramsay’s long ball from the home half put Josh March through on goal, and the striker rattled the top of County’s crossbar from outside the area.
The next chance of the afternoon fell to the Hatters, as Macauley Southam-Hales’ cross from the right found Louie Barry - only for the League Two Player of the Month for September to head over.
But, with 13 minutes played, County took the lead - and for the first time in five league games, the opening goal came courtesy of a player other than Tanto Olaofe! A throw-in on the right by Southam-Hales evaded all in attendance, leaving Sarcevic free to drill an angled shot in off the far post for his third strike of the season.
Almost immediately following kick-off, County went close to doubling the advantage, as Barry dinked an effort narrowly over the bar. And a well-worked corner routine from the right saw Odin Bailey feed Barry, whose shot was cleared by Liam Gibson.
At the other end, Ben Hinchliffe dived to smother a low George Thomson effort from just inside the box. And although the hosts’ next attack saw Hinchliffe beaten, captain Ryan Croasdale was perfectly placed to clear Matty Daly’s shot off the line.
Hinchliffe’s opposite Number One, Mark Oxley, was called into action twice in quick succession ahead of the break - tipping over another attempt by Sarcevic, before holding on to Ethan Pye’s glancing header following the consequential corner.
HALF-TIME: Harrogate 0, County 1 (Sarcevic, 13).
The Hatters began the second half with a second goal - and an excellent build-up it involved, too, with Barry dancing down the right four minutes after the re-start, before advancing inside from the by-line and delivering a cutback that Warren Burrell deflected into his own net.
The hosts’ skipper Josh Falkingham then prevented a third by clearing a Barry shot from the line - and Oxley did well to block a Sarcevic effort by the near post, following a County corner on the right, before Hinchliffe, at the other end, brilliantly parried around the right post an attempt from Daly after the Stockport-born ‘Sulphurite’ had been played through on goal.
But the Hatters continued to enjoy the greater share of possession and opportunities. Oxley saved again from Sarcevic, and a Barry delivery from the right flashed past the far post, before a third goal arrived as Collar headed home a pin-point perfect Sarcevic cross from the left.
Just a couple of minutes later, the hosts were awarded a penalty after March went to ground under a challenge by Pye - and Thomson, from the spot, fired into the bottom-right corner to send Hinchliffe the wrong way and reduce Harrogate’s arrears.
Bailey twice went close to bagging his first goal as a Hatter - firing narrowly over from beyond the ‘D’, and then, from a similar distance, volleying against the right post. And when seven minutes of added time were announced, at least a couple of them were due to an injury suffered by Referee Parsons, who had to be replaced by the Fourth Official for the remainder of the contest.
FULL-TIME: Harrogate 1 (Thomson (penalty), 72), County 3 (Sarcevic, 13; Burrell (o.g.), 49; Collar, 69).
Team (4-1-2-1-2): Hinchliffe; Southam-Hales, Wright, Horsfall, Pye; Croasdale (Capt.) (Camps, 83); Collar, Bailey; Sarcevic; Olaofe (Madden, 73), Barry (Wootton, 73).
Unused Subs: Smith, Hippolyte, Pond, Richardson.

I went to see Stockport County recently v Forest Green fab atmosphere at the top of the Cheadle End there.
Stockport County ole ole ole
The ref just wanted a rub from the female doctor 😂
Looks like a nice little ground and that pie is definitely a Sanjay 8 😁
cant wait for the city to be back hopeful for a win over Bristol
You’re welcome for the half time entertainment 👍
Love that. Better entertainment than most these days.
@@AlexCraigGH it’s definitely better entertainment than watching us play today
I went to the AFC Wimbledon vs Bradford City game as a Championship fan 🐝
I sat in the home end.
It was my first ever neutral game. Sadly they lost - but I love their stadium.
Sounds good. I went to Wimbledon earlier in the season for a League cup game. Nice set up they have there
We’re top where were we last season this time holy fuck
Good video
Thank you mate!
Barry needs to stay with us at stockport And help us win promotion
Would be the sensible thing for him. Although he could probably even play in league one next season with County. Is a great olayer
Congrats on ticking off another ground, SCFC for life
😁
Thank you! Best of luck this season
A little bit of a bad challenge? He didn't actually make contact with the Harrogate player. Watch in slomo. Harrogate lad actually tries to kick the ball, misses because Pye has already made contact with the ball, and then falls over.
My opinion is, he was down injured as he collided with 2 players. But. I wouldn’t say it was a penalty.
Louie Barry 💪 needs another couple of good loans but this kid makes it at the villa
I’ve been there for a county cup game which my non league team won the match 2-1 but that was before lockdown came into force back in 2020. Looks like they are making the ground bigger. Which team are you coming with to Leeds in December?
I’m a Coventry fan, so I’ll be in the away end when we play you lot in December.
You will need all the luck in the world because we are going on the up with Farke being our manager let alone the new signings doing a great job. It’s going to be ok packed at ER with 36k+ watching the game. Would this be your first time at Elland Road?
@@georgemacpherson1992 Yes, it is the only ground I’m yet to visit in the Championship. We haven’t played Leeds since 2011.
Have you been to Edgeley Park yet?
Yes. But definitely want to visit again for a video, hopefully in the Cheadle end.
@AlexCraiggh Make sure you get your ticket well in advance the sell out fast...upper tier 3 is what you want if your making a video....
The plastics at the top of the premier don't get these fans reactions. They do not understand passion.
County play with 4 at the back, unless you’re including the goalkeeper 🤷
I think that’s just a mistake on my behalf from what I had seen that’s how it seemed. Maybe a CM dropping deep while defending
@@AlexCraigGH We set up with a diamond shape in midfield, so that would have been Ryan Croasdale who plays DM.
You watched the top of league side so stop moaning hehe
No complaining. Especially about Stockport not a bad word to say about County. Played great football, got behind the team. Best of luck this season
@@AlexCraigGH
Pity County were only allocated 400 tickets, last three away matches have seen 1000 twice (both down south), and nearly 2000; have you done Edgeley Park yet ?
@@elaineblackhurst1509 I’ve done Edgely park 5 times. One of my favourite places to visit. Will have to visit this season on the channel definitely.
