Harrogate Veterans have won the Senior's World Cup in Thailand after beating Australia 1-0 in the final.

Ian Simpson headed the winner in the eighth minute of the game which was abandoned in the second half because of a torrential monsoon.

The team was representing England in the tournament and won all five of their games.

Harrogate got to Saturday's final after beating Iran in the semi-finals following a penalty shoot-out.
