Harrogate Railway bring sequence of four matches without a victory to an end at Wakefield AFC

That was until Alex Clark stepped up to calmly slot home an 83rd-minute penalty to secure the Rail a 2-1 NCEL Division One success in West Yorkshire.

Earlier in the contest, Dan Hickey’s 14th-minute opener has been cancelled out by Wakefield’s Cameron Barnett, though the men from Station View were not to be denied.
