Burr hails fans' support after dramatic leveller

Harriers boss Steve Burr was quick to praise the fans who cheered his side on in their New Year's Day draw at Forest Green Rovers.

Jamille Matt's 90th minute strike cancelled out Yan Klukowski's first half goal at the New Lawn to ensure the Aggborough outfit stretched their unbeaten run to 10 games.

The draw also kept them just behind the sides in the Blue Square Bet Premier's play-off spots.

Cheering on their team were 437 Harriers fans, who erupted in relief and joy when Matt headed in the leveller.

"I must say the following we got from the fans today was fantastic, we could do with that every game away from home," joked Burr.

"It helps and the fans got right behind the lads and they got their reward.

He added: "It looked like we weren't getting the goal our second half performance deserved, Forest Green are a very good side and I thought in the first half particularly they played very well.

"In the first half we made a few chances ourselves but it's always pleasing when you score so late on.

"The lads kept going and it was pleasing to see Jamma [Jamille Matt] get the goal and hopefully that will continue."
