Harriers failed to bounce back from their disappointing weekend defeat at the hands of Barrow and dropped more points against the league's bottom club Northwich. Again the weather was a factor in making the game poor as a spectacle with a stiff breeze blowing from end-to-end and constant drizzle. Neither team looked particularly good in a very scrappy first half; in the first half hour the most notable incident was the loss of Justin Richards to a hamstring injury, he was replaced in attack by Darryl Knights. It was ten minutes before the break before either side had a good sight of goal, a long crossfield pass picked out Vics' Michael Byrne on the left wing, he cut inside and hit a shot towards the far post that Adam Bartlett did well to push away for a corner. At the other end, in stoppage time, Martin Brittain's deep right wing cross found Brian Smikle whose diving header was tipped over the bar by Scott Tynan in the home goal. After the interval Harriers started much brighter with the wind at their backs. Brittain was set free on the right in the 47th minute, he got to the byline and sent in a low cross to the far post where it was turned in by Smikle for his fourth goal of the season. Soon afterwards Aaron Burns just about beat the offside trap but his low 20-yard shot was saved by Bartlett. Knights and Matthew Barnes-Homer were working well together and just after the hour mark they combined with Knights' flick dropping to Barnes-Homer in the inside-right channel, he had more time than he realised and could have done better with his attempted lob which didn't have enough height on it and was easily caught by Tynan. A couple of minutes later a Brittain corner from the left found Knights beyond the far post, his half volley flashed across the face of goal. Barnes-Homer and Knights exchanged passes again with the former creating space for himself for a 20-yard shot that was straight at the goalkeeper. The same player did well to chase down a Mark Creighton clearance and keep the ball in play on the left wing, he pulled it back to Knights whose shot clipped the bar. Harriers were made to rue their missed chances with ten minutes remaining in the game; a free-kick on the right was kept in play at the far post by ex-Harrier Darryn Stamp who knocked it back to the advancing Ryan Brown who was not closed down quickly enough and rifled a drive from the edge of the penalty area inside the far post. |
