A last-gasp goal from leading scorer Chris McPhee gained all three points from a scrappy match and helped them keep in touch with the play-off places.

Steve Burr made full use of his squad to rotate players in and out of the side, making four changes from the team that had lost to Newport with Lee Vaughan, Mark Albrighton, Dave Hankin and McPhee all coming back into the starting line-up.

Whereas the game against Newport had been an entertaining encounter with both sides adding something to the game this match was very scrappy from the outset and saw just one shot on target in the opening half; Ross Dyer's shot on the turn looked destined for the top corner but Danny Lewis managed to parry it.

The second half was a little more promising; Harriers finally tested visiting keeper James Bittner five minutes after the interval when Nick Wright got clear but his shot was hit straight at the stopper.  At the other end Lewis was called upon again to keep another Dyer shot from heading into the top corner.

Harriers began to get on top but were struggling to break down the massed Rovers defence.  On 77 minutes a poorly-struck Callum Gittings corner from the right found Keith Briggs who saw his shot deflect off former Harrier Craig Armstrong past Bittner only to be cleared off the line by Jared Hodgkiss.

Matt Blair caused the visitors quite a few problems with his pace and even with only five minutes remaining in the game he was still too fast for the Rovers defence, bursting clear before shooting wildly high and wide.  Right at the death Harriers finally made the breakthrough; a Briggs shot was parried by Bittner and as McPhee darted forward to attack the loose ball he was brought down by Adam Quinn, the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot.  McPhee himself took the penalty but Bittner dived to his left to keep it out, McPhee was fastest to react, though, and stabbed in the loose ball.
