Harrogate halted a worrying run of four straight defeats with a gutsy 0-0 draw at mid-table rivals Stockport.
Stockport were denied by the woodwork early on when skipper Antoni Sarcevic nodded against the crossbar following Kyle Wootton's clipped cross.
Sarcevic then saw a point-blank effort brilliantly palmed away by goalkeeper Pete Jameson.
At the other end, Harrogate threatened when Luke Armstrong's point-blank header was beaten out by Stockport stopper Vit Jaros.
County's Ollie Crankshaw then hit the bar with a smart chip from 25 yards as the hosts continued to dominate.
After the restart, Stockport sub Ryan Croasdale curled a 20-yard shot a foot wide of the post.
An unmarked Will Collar also headed disappointingly off target as he met Sarcevic's floated free-kick.
Harrogate striker Armstrong saw a shot on the turn blocked with 10 minutes left, but his side had been second best.
Despite that, they still almost grabbed a late winner when Alex Pattison's shot from a narrow angle was superbly palmed away by Jaros.
