Town lost 9-2 in their last outing and now face another tough game as they travel to third place Crewe Alexandra. Harrogate Town's women's side face Wakefield Ladies this weekend, with both sides looking to continue their two-game unbeaten run. For Harrogate, you'd have to look all the way back to last season to recall them winning back-to-back games. Town forward Scarlett Aldridge fancies her side's chances. We didn't have a bad result against Wakefield away, it was only 2-1. So we made a mistake which cost us a goal. So I think if we can learn from that, which we definitely have done, then we should hopefully come away with some points this weekend.

New signing Mikael Goudemond has also been cleared to play, following his pre-season absence, and is in line to make his debut.
