After three away games Curzon, boosted by the return from injury of goalkeeper David Carnell, returned home, and with a much improved team performance deservedly took maximum points from their Yorkshire opponents.
It was the visitors who had the better of the opening quarter-hour and it was nearly an lucky thirteen minutes for Curzon after Harrogate were awarded a free kick 20 yards from goal. With the ball played quickly to Ben Jones the player was through and put the ball beyond Carnell only to have his effort ruled offside.
James Ogoo set up an attack for the home side after a break down the right and a pass inside to Rhodri Giggs. With Matt Morgan taking the ball off the toes of the Curzon player the ball found its way back to Ogoo and his cross into the box was met by the head of the inrushing Giggs but the ball was comfortably taken by Jacob Giles.
Giles was into more serious action on 25 minutes  after Jorge Gazapo brought the ball under control after a cross from the right. Turning his marker he unleashed a shot on goal which had Giles going quickly to his right to turn the ball for a corner.
Two minutes later and another opportunity for Curzon to test Giles when a Giggs free kick was met by Chris Curley but his effort went over the top.
Morgan tried his luck with a long range effort on the half-hour which had Carnell moving across his six yard box to collect and then the keeper set Nick Allen free down the right. His ball on to Giggs was whipped perilously close to goal forcing Garry Tyson to concede another corner.
Giles once again stood between Curzon and their much sought after opening goal on 37 minutes when Gazapo was fouled on the left 20 yards from goal. Giggs took charge of the kick, curled the ball right footed around the wall and with the ball looking destined to end up in the back of the net, Giles at full stretch got a hand to the ball to turn it wide of his goal. 
The only goal of the game came six minutes into the start of the second period and it began with the tenacity of Allen, winning the ball on the right, ending with the ball being despatched by the head of Chris Worsley from a Giggs, and this time Giles was well and truly beaten.
On the hour mark Gazapo got his head to cross which Giles collected on the goal line, and two minutes later Giggs should have given his side a two goal cushion when he was put through the middle after beating the offside trap. With defenders in pursuit and Giles coming off his line he could do no better than to chip the ball into the hands of the keeper.
A minute later and the spurned opportunity could have proved costly as Harrogate went down the other end, and with the home defence failing to clear their lines, a shot on the turn by Jones forced Carnell to get low down to his right to save.
The result should have been beyond any doubt in the first minute of stoppage time when Gazapo was clean through on goal from a pass by James Ogoo. With defenders trying to make up lost ground, and with Giles coming off his line, the forward tried to take the ball round the advancing keeper but knocked it too far and ran the ball out of play.

Curzon go back on the road on Friday with a trip to the north east to face Newcastle Blue Star and on Monday they entertain Lancaster City (KO 3pm) at the Tameside Stadium
