| Match Report |

A good all round performance saw Harriers deservedly beat Leyton
Orient and maintain their unbeaten record against the Londoners.
Fielding an unchanged team for the fifth game in a row, Harriers began the game brightly but had to soak up a lot of pressure from Orient who looked most likely to break the deadlock in the opening stages. Prompted by Jeff Minton they created a number of openings, Minton himself had a shot blocked before Andy Harris and Minton again forced saves from Stuart Brock. The game was played mostly in the midfield in the first half, and while most Orient movs came through Minton, Danny Williams was commanding the midfield for Harriers. Kidderminster matched their hosts in the middle thirs but didn't create many clear cut openings until neat interplay between Dean Bennett and Colin Larkin gave Bennett a clear run on goal, and once free he made no mistake with his shot past the advancing Scott Barrett. After the break Harriers created more openings in the opening minutes, but it was the home team who scored next. Harriers failed to clear a corner, and when the ball fell to Minton he drilled it back through the crowded penalty area giving Brock little chance to save it. Harriers did not let this setback stop them and they went in search of a winner rather than trying to defend the point that they still had. Riche Appleby and Bo Henriksen were both sent on to make their debuts, and soon made an impression. Good work by Scott Stamps an Drewe Broughton created the chance for Appleby to restore the lead, and shortly afterwards Stamps had set up Henriksen who showed great skill in controlling the ball before volleying past Barrett. By now the home supporters were streaming out of the ground as the game was now over as a contest and Harriers were left with a comfortable last few minutes to soak up what small amounts of pressure Orient could muster. |
