After suffering successive defeats, goals from Ian Bradbury and Jonny Clay earned Bobby Patterson and Tim Cole’s side a 2-1 triumph at The Grange.
Andrew Irvine returned fire for a Netherton side that aren’t looking quite as competitive this season, but Harrox held firm to move up to sixth in the table.
