Harriers began their pre-season warm-up with a comfortable victory over local rivals Evesham. A number
of new faces were introduced and the result wasn't made certain until the final quarter of an hour.
New signing Matthew Gadsby lined-up alongside trialists Kevin Murphy and Craig Wilding in the first half, a period that Harriers dominated. Matt Lewis had an early chance that Craig Ladek kept out while Lewis, Sean Parrish and Nick Heath all shot high or wide from good opportunities. At the other end Stuart Brock made a good double save from Grant Pinkney and Wes Joyce. Harriers' most dangerous player in the opening half was Heath who was very lively on the right hand side but it was another youngster, Lewis who opened the scoring after 28 minutes. He received a pass from the right, beat one defender and hit a weak shot that Ladek got his hand to but was unable to prevent from creeping inside the near post. In the final minute of the half Heath sent over a great cross from the right that found Dean Bennett at the far post and his header looped over Ladek but hit the bar. Then, in stoppage time Wilding had the ball in the net but his effort was ruled out for handball. At the interval Harriers made ten changes introducing four more trialists. Two of these, John Williams and Mark Danks saw plenty of the action during the half. It was Evesham, however, who scored next when a header from former Harrier Jay Powell wrong footed John Danby and looped into the net. John Williams created a chance for Danks after 69 minutes but the youngster could only steer it across the face of goal and beyond the far post. Eight minutes later Harriers regained the lead through trialist Williams, he received the ball midway inside the Evesham half advanced towards goal beating a defender and tucked a shot beyond Damion Quailey into the far corner. The same player was involved in the build-up to the third Harriers goal, playing a 1-2 with Sam Shilton who then crossed low across goal for Paschalis to turn the ball in from close range and wrap up the game. |
