Match Report by St@tto
Harriers recorded their fifth victory in a row, coming from two down at the break to win a seven goal thriller.

Harriers had the best of theh possession in the opening stages, but could not find a finishing touch in the penalty area. The visitors the took the lead against the run of play when Paul Webb was caught out by a long ball and Andy White nipped in behind him to lob the ball over Brendan Murphy.

Webb's disappointment was made worse a few minutes later when he brought down White in the penalty area. Danny Bacon took the kick and sent Murphy the wrong way. Not long after Webb dived to head a dangerous cross out for a corner and only narrowly missed putting it into his own net.

After the break Harriers came ou with more purpose and soon were in control of the game. Corbett, Faulds and Foster all were denied by Bingham in the Masfield goal before the breakthrough was made. A crossfield pass from Michael Keegan found Foster on the left and he curled a shot into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area.

Bouyed by the goal Harriers pressed on and were soo level. Corbett gained possession and set up the lively Andy Ducros who tucked his shot in low to Bingham's left. At this point Harriers were the only team that was going to go on and win the game, but they surprisingly fell behind again. A good run by Martin Pemberton create the opening and his cross-shot was turned into his own net by Peter Faulds.

Faulds soon made ammends, however, Sam Shilton broke through the visitor's defence only to see his shot well saved but Faulds followed up to fire in the loose ball. Shilton was involved in the winner, his pass set up Foster who scored with another curled shot, this time into the bottom corner.

Another plus point for Harriers in the game was Lee Ayres' first appearance since breaking his foot at Hull in August.
