Grimsby’s David Artell said, per Gazette Herald: āIt takes a terrific strike for anyone to score from inside their own half and especially when itās up the hill they have here, but Iām sure Greeny will be the first to say that it doesnāt mean much when you donāt win the game.
āIt was an outstanding piece of skill and it was also an excellent strike for our second goal, but weāve only ended up with a point and thatās turned what could have been a good day for us into an infuriating one.
āI said at half-time that I thought we hadnāt been very good in possession, but we had been excellent out of possession and scored two great goals.
āIn the second half, we also stopped doing the basics out of possession and didnāt really get any better in possession.
āIf we had done our jobs properly, we would have seen the game out 2-0 but we got our just desserts. They probably didnāt deserve to score two goals, but we gave them that opportunity.ā
Harrogate’s Simon Weaver said: āWe are hard to beat at home and thatās nine games unbeaten now with five wins and four draws.
āIām proud of that record, so I was angry at half-time because my pride was hurt even though I knew it would be hard against a good team.
āBut we came back fighting in the second half and, after making it 2-1, we were relentless which is what this club is all about.
āTheir first goal was magical.
āFrom way inside his own half, it was a shot to nothing by a confident player and full credit to him, but we had our own magical moment from Ellis.
āHe put the ball right in the top corner and heās a real threat when he comes off the right flank like that.ā
