Harriers Reserves cruised to victory over a strong Rochdale team
which included several First Team players returning from injury.
Harriers have now won three in a row, scoring four in each one.
Rochdale's returning players included Paul Connor back from
a hamstring injury, Graham Atkinson back after a long lay-off
with ligament damage, Paul Ware (tendons) and Simon Coleman.
The home team had chances to score, Connor was denied by Murphy
as he broke clear of the Harriers defence, and missed the target
with another good chance. Dale keeper Matt Gilks brought down
Andy Ducros in the penalty area to give Harriers a penalty which
Tony Bird despatched to open the scoring.
Peter Faulds scored a controversial third having beaten the
home team's offside trap, and Andy Ducros completed the scoring
in the closing stages.
