Quakers went a goal behind on 9 minutes. Brit Assombalonga had plenty of time to turn and play the ball forward into the path of Connor Kennedy, who smashed the ball into the top right corner with Jones helpless.

Sam Osborne then tried a right foot shot that went wide, then Bobby Jones came off his line well and blocked a shot by Devon Kelly-Evans.

Quakers got a free kick on the right that Scott Barrow curled into the box, but Beck was crowded out.

Harborough replied with a chip forward by Osborne that Assombalonga brought down well, but he sidefooted straight at Jones.

Quakers had a penalty shout turned down when Stanton’s effort from the edge of the area was blocked by a defender with Quakers appealing for handball, but the referee waved play on, and in Quakers next attack Thompson found Ben Hedley on the overlap on the right, and his low cross was turned wide by Beck.

There was a great chance on 25 minutes when Ben Hedley crossed well from the left for Stephenson at the back post, but he couldn’t direct his header on target.

Then Smith made a good run up the left to get into the area, and his right shot took a deflection on its way into Elliott Taylor’s hands
