Simon Weaver

Simon Weaver was happy that his Harrogate team “turned on the style” for their loyal supporters during a 3-0 home win over Carlisle.

Harrogate boss Simon Weaver was delighted for eventual match-winner Luke Armstrong after his high-flying side’s 2-1 League Two victory at struggling Oldham.
