Harriers' disappointing home campaign came to an end with another defeat, the eleventh, and another failure to score, the twelfth.

Despite Mark Yates fielding the strongest team available to him, Russ Penn and Jonny Harkness the only ones missing as they were suspended, his team managed to serve up another 90 minutes of dross against a team who were far more interested in getting a result.  Morecambe had the best of the game from the start, they new that a win would all but clinch a play-off spot; Harriers minds still seemed fixed firmly on Wembley.

The visitors created numerous chances to score in the first half, not afraid to shoot on sight or from distance, and went close to opening the scoring with a Danny Carlton lob and Craig Stanley 25-yard shot.  Surprisingly it took until five minutes before the break for them to break the deadlock; the Harriers defence was static as the ball was slipped through for Garry Thompson to run on to, Scott Bevan was slow to react and brought him down as he knocked the ball round him.  Referee Andrew Rodda had no hesitation in pointing to the spot and, as he was the last defender, Bevan was shown the red card.  Simon Russell was sacrificed to bring on Steve Taylor in goal and his first job was to pick Thompson's penalty out of the back of the net.

The game followed a similar pattern in the second half; by the time Harriers finally managed to get a shot on target - Brian Smikle's effort was weak and took a deflection that made it an easy save for Steven Drench - Morecambe could have been further ahead: Thompson's shot on the turn was well tipped away by Taylor at the expense of a corner; from a Thompson corner Jim Bentley was allowed a free header that flew across the face of goal.  The game ebbed away with no spark from the home team and what had been intended to be a show for the fans turned into a damp squib and comfortable victory for the visitors..
