Harriers v Tamworth (From Kidderminster Shuttle)

4:57pm

It is over! Harriers stormed back from a slow start to win emphatically. Lee Vaughan was deservedly named man of the match but there were a lot do good performances by Reds players.

That sets up Tuesday night's top five clash at Newport County. Thanks for everything, have a fine evening.

4:48pm

Final Harriers change as Mike Williams replaces the excellent Danny Jackman.

4:47pm

Lovely goal. A good run and cross by Lee Vaughan down the right and an unmarked Gash hangs in the air to head home his second of the game.

4:45pm

Goal! Gash! Harriers 4-1 up! 

4:44pm

Good attendance today of 2,392 with 143 Tamworth fans.

4:42pm

80- Bit of a scrum from a Tamworth corner but after some head tennis, Ryan Rowe clears.

4:40pm

77- Ryan Rowe beats the keeper to the ball but instead of turning and shooting he is indecisive and shepherd out by the away defence.

4:37pm

Another change for Lambs as Tommy Wright comes off to be replaced by Danny Lloyd.

4:35pm

Second change for Harriers in the 73rd minute as Marvin Johnson replaces Danny Pilkington.

4:35pm

Danny Lewis gets a hand to a header at the far post.

4:32pm

70- Harriers playing some lovely stuff now and Keith Briggs sees a lovely chipped effort fly just over the bar.

4:29pm

66- First change for Tamworth as Darren Byfield, who has just picked up a booking, is replaced by Jake Hessenthaler.

4:24pm

Substitute Ryan Rowe replaces Anthony Malbon on the hour mark and with his first touch forces Breeden into a fine save.

4:23pm

51- Adam Cunnington looks dangerous for away side. He shoots just wide after a slip by Gowling.

4:19pm

Danny Jackman delivers a fine free-kick from the left and Gash makes it two goals in the starts for Harriees when he heads home.

4:18pm

Goal! Gash! 

4:16pm

54- Good save by Danny Lewis. Adam Cunnington fires in a fierce shot from the edge of the box and Lewis dives down to get a hand to it and push it behind for a corner.

4:14pm

52- Tamworth trying to get back into game. Tommy Wright sees an overhead kick easily saved by Lewis.

4:11pm

50- Delay in play as Sam Odje needs treatment for an injury.

4:09pm

47- Tamworh force a corner. But the set piece is headed away.

3:50pm

That is the break! Harriers have been forced to work hard by Tamworth but as soon as they equalised the game changed. Danny Pilkington made a difference when he switched from right to left. 

3:48pm

48- Free kick to Harriers. Goal! Danny Pilkington! 

3:47pm

I forgot to mention that Michael Wylde was booked just after Harriers scored. He was complaining to referee about not getting  the ball back quickly enough.

3:45pm

Four minutes of added time. 

3:43pm

42- The goal has rejuvenated Harriers. Michael Gash feels he is fouled in box by Odje and Vincent slams an effort over the bar. Gash  is convinced it was a penalty but the referee is not having it.

3:40pm

40- Lee Vaughan wriggles past Cunnington and forces a corner. Tamworth defend well but Harriers keep the pressure on.

3:37pm

Harriers conjure up a goal out of nothing. Pilkington crossed from the left and Lee Vaughan smashed a shot in which the keeper saves. Briggs is unmarked and slams ball into back of the net.

3:35pm

Goal! Briggs! 

3:34pm

I forgot to mention that Tommy Wrightbhas been off for a foul and returns. Dunkley is also back in action.

3:31pm

A scare for Harriers as Kyle Perry cannot quite connect with Darren Byfield's horribly wide shot. 

3:31pm

Chey Dunkley is told to come off and change his top because he has a cut. Harriers temporarily down to ten men.

3:29pm

29- It is aimless stuff by both sides at the moment. Harriers are being frustrated by Tamworth and lack their usual fluency. 

3:25pm

25- Danny Lewis takes a looping back pass from Lee Vaughan. There is a suggestion that the ball flew off Vaughan as he battled with Cunnington but it was risky by the keeper to catch ball.

3:23pm

23- Tamworth are looking well-drilled here. They are sitting back and trying to hit Harriers on break. 

3:22pm

21- Frustration by Pilkington who lambasts lino for flagging for Lee Vaughan's pass going out of play. It had by the slimmest of margins.

3:21pm

20- Tommy Wright puts a lot of pressure on Dunkley and forces a  Lambs throw in by Harriers goal. Harriers deal with it.

3:18pm

19- Harriers have responded quite well to going behind and have applied some pressure on the away side. They are yet to really test Breeden though.

3:17pm

17- Good persistence by Chey Dunkley in midfield forces a FK after a Harriers attack is offside. Demetriou's ball goes behind as players jostle for the ball.

3:14pm

14- Some nice passing ends with a shot by Briggs from distance deflecting over the bar for a corner. 

Breedem collects Jackman's corner well and ref blows for a foul. Goal kick to Lambs.

3:12pm

There was a break in play as Cunnington needed treatment for a clash of heads. He is okay to continue though.

3:09pm

10- Mickey Demetriou crosses from the left and Michael Gash tries to cushion a header goalwards but it is an easy one for Tony Breeden.

3:08pm

Sorry folks, it was Mickey Demetriou who weakly headed off the line. 

3:05pm

Poor defending there as a Harriers player heads the ball off his line straight to Cunnington, who makes no mistakes from 12 yards out.

3:05pm

Goal! Adam Cunnington fires Tamworth ahead! 

3:04pm

4- It is a horrible afternoon weather-wise. It is blustery and an intense shower of rain has come in.

3:01pm

2- Harriers have made a brisk start here. They have had one or two attacks already. 

3:01pm

1- Danny Pilkington nearly plays in Malbon but Sam Odje just beats him to it.

2:52pm

Former Harriers keeper Tony Breeden starts for Tamworth. Tony was stand-in for Danny Lewis but became a first team regular after Lewis picked up a season ending injury.

2:47pm

Good morning Harriers fans. We are just over three hours away from the home clash against Tamworth.

But the Lambs have surprised people on their travels, grabbing score draws at high-flying Newport and Wrexham.

We'll have all the latest team news before the 3pm kick-off.
