Bradford Park Avenue 0 Great Harwood Town 1

DENIS Underwood's in-form Harwood built on Saturday's victory over Lincoln with a blend of attractive football and battling defence.

Graeme Lightbown's 18th minute strike was enough to clinch the points against a well-organised and physical Bradford Park Avenue outfit.

But it is all likely to be too little too late for battling Harwood, who remain off the pace in the UniBond battle to beat the drop.

The deadlock was broken when a stunning five-man move released Warren Peake for a run on the Bradford keeper.

Peake was upended, the keeper receiving a yellow card, but Lightbown was on hand to hammer home the loose ball.

Mark Walsh replaced hamstring injury victim Mark Henshaw after half an hour.

Neil Baron and Peake both went close from goalmouth scramble's as the visitors attempted to stretch the lead before half-time.

Neil Kennedy was replaced after 63 minutes by Lee Pennington after being kicked in the head during a brave clearance.

But Harwood stood firm and survived a succession of corners.
