Harriers missed the chance of returning to the top of the table after being
held to their first League draw of the season by Notts County.
The game was fairly even throughout, although goalmouth action was rare
in the first half and the strong breeze blowing the length of Aggborough
didn't help play flow. Andy Ducros had a good chance well saved by
Steve Mildenhall in the County goal, but it was the visitors who took
the lead late in the half. An interchange of passes between Michael Brough
and Paul Bolland ended with the latter threading a pass through to Tony
Hackworth who hit a blistering shot into the top corner from 25 yards out
which John Danby could only get his fingertips to as it flew by.
After the break Harriers stepped up a gear and began to dominate in
spells. On the hour the equaliser almost arrived, Ducros was thwarted
again by Mildenhall and then Andy Corbett fired the rebound over the
bar. Five minutes later the scores were level, Ducros crossed from
the right and Drewe Broughton scored with a glancing header.
Harriers pressed for a winner but it would not come and they had to settle
for a point, the draw being a fair result.
