Barrow v Harriers (From Kidderminster Shuttle)

4:55pm

It's over! Harriers have their first point of the season. On the balance of play, a draw is fair enough as both teams did not deserve to lose.

Harriers will be hoping to build on this at Braintree on Tuesday.

4:53pm

Both teams really want this. Adam Boyes just curls a shot wide.

4:53pm

Harriers have a great chance. Mickey Demetriou sends in a brilliant cross and Anthony Malbon heads wide. The striker is ruled out for offside though.

4:51pm

Richie Baker goes for goal only to be thwarted by Nathan Vaughan. From the corner, Harriers eventually scramble it away!

4:50pm

Harriers press forward and force a corner. Johnson's corner doesn't beat first man.

4:49pm

Four minutes of time added on!

4:48pm

Mickey Demetriou makes a fine challenge as Anuro drives to goal. He goes to ground but the Barrow man's attempt to win a penalty is ignored by referee.

4:46pm

Marvin Johnson is booked for time wasting.

4:44pm

Five minutes of normal time left and both teams are going for the winner!

4:44pm

Marvin Johnson takes a corner and Richard Peniket flings himself at it but directs it wide.

4:43pm

The attendance is 716 with 46 away fans.

4:36pm

Adam Boyes pounces on Ryan Austin's goal-kickand as Nathan Vaughan rushes out of his goal, he finds Paul Rutherford on edge of box, who fires in but Vaughan saves!

4:34pm

Barrow change; Obi Anuro replaces Joe Jackson.

4:33pm

Final change for Harriers. Manny Panther replaces the injured Gittings.

4:32pm

Callum Gittings needs treatment after a collision with Adam Boyes. Manny Panther is about to come on!

4:30pm

Harriers change in the 71st minute. Richard Peniket replaces Nathan Blisset. That's a debut for on-loan Fulham hitman.

4:30pm

Nathan Vaughan punches a stinging effort from Baker but then takes ball. Harriers' keeper looked a bit surprised by that.

4:28pm

Harriers have a good break. Nathan Blissett drives forwards, slips it right to Johnson, who slides in a ball but it goes wide of far post and Anthony Malbon arrives a moment too late to connect.

4:26pm

Lee Vaughan is caught unwittingly by Richie Baker and goes to ground and as Keith Briggs hammers in a shot, the ref blows for a foul. Baker is booked but it was a harsh decision as Vaughan tripped over his trailing foot as he back tracked.

Mickey Demetriou's low free-kick hits the wall. The left-back tries another shot but Barrow block it.

4:23pm

Pretty even second half here. No goal-scoring opportunities but Harriers have looked solid and unruffled.

4:21pm

First chance for Johnson to have a run. He sprints down the left wing and tries to deliver a low cross but Barrow deal with it easily.

4:18pm

Harriers make their first change in the 59th minute. Danny Pilkington has picked uo a knock and is replaced by Marvin Johnson.

4:16pm

Chey Dunkley makes a good challenge to stop Joe Jackson after he drives into the box. The rookie defender is doing very well.

4:14pm

So far, Harriers have been the more proactive side but have yet to create any openings.

4:09pm

Kyle Storer takes a free-kick from near the half way line which is too long and goes out for FK.

4:08pm

Harriers have a corner to defend but it's too long and Nathan Vaughan has a goal-kick.

4:04pm

Barrow make a change, Chris Moore is on for Danny Rowe.

3:48pm

That's the break! Harriers have a slender advantage but this game has see-sawed either way and both keepers have had to be at their best to keep score down.

If it keeps on like this, there will be more goals after the break, hopefully Harriers can add to their tally.

3:46pm

Harriers survive a scare! Mike Pearson crosses from the right, Adam Boyes heads the ball down and from 10yards out, Danny Rowe volleys over the bar!

3:42pm

Chey Dunkley makes a block to deny Adam Boyes after good work by Paul Rutherford. The young defender has done well again today so far.

3:41pm

Adam Boyes catches Lee Vaughan in the head. The defender slippped as Boyes tried to take down a high ball and accidentally connects with him. Lee is okay to continue though.

3:36pm

Anthony Malbon tries from distance and his shot arrows towards top right corner but Danny Hurst has to tip it over.

3:35pm

Lee Vaughan clears off the line. From a corner, the ball is headed down to Paul Rutherford, who spins and shoots but it hits Harriers' right-back.

3:34pm

Superb save from Nathan Vaughan! Garry Hunter pulls ball back to Richie Baker and he spanks in a fine rising effort but Vaughan shows quick reactions to get a hand to it.

3:32pm

Danny Pilkington has been given a lot of space on right and he whips in a delicious cross which takes a touch off a home player and goes behind for a corner.

3:31pm

Harriers win a free-kick after Nathan Blissett is fouled. The big targetman has worked very hard.

Danny Pilkington tries a clever free-kick but it goes straight through to Danny Hurst.

3:29pm

Callum Gittings needs some treatment after being fouled by Joe Jackson. Harriers have been awarded a drop ball, which they kick out of play for a Barrow GK.

3:23pm

Chances at both ends. First, Nathan Vaughan gets down to deny Adam Boyes after a good break by Garry Hunter.

Anthony Malbon does well to control the ball and fire in a snap-shot which only Nathan Vaughan can parry.

3:21pm

Barrow have got wide on either flank twice in as many minutes but when the ball has came on, none of the home side have been there to trouble Harriers.

3:20pm

Adam Boyes tries to latch onto a slightly short back pass by Lee Vaughan but Nathan Vaughan is on hand to boot the ball down the pitch.

3:16pm

Kyle Storer sees a header hit the post but the flag goes up for offside.

3:12pm

Harriers almost make it 2-0. Keith Briggs hammers in a fine low shot which Hurst saves. The ball falls to Nathan Blissett, who does really well to twist past one defender but as he tries to shoot, Barrow's alert keeper dives at his feet.

3:08pm

Harriers see another goal disallowed. Anthony Malbon slid into to bundle Danny Pilkington's lovely low ball into box but it's ruled out for offside.

3:06pm

Barrow have started well but Callum Gittings fires in a 20-yard shot which keeper Danny Hurst has to dive down to get a hand to. A good stop and nice hit by Harriers midfielder.

3:05pm

Ryan Austin tracks back well and blocks Danny Rowe on left for a corner. The Barrow man takes it himself, swaps it with a teammate and drives into box and crosses but whistle blows for an offside.

3:03pm

Harriers have a corner to defend but it's taken short and the ball put in by Garry Hunter is not good enough and it eventually goes out of play for a GK by Vaughan.

3:02pm

Chey Dunkley fouls Richard Baker as Harriers concede a free-kick inside the first minute. It's pretty central and Danny Rowe's chipped effort is tipped over by Nathan Vaughan.

2:58pm

Here's some optimism from fans site HarriersOnline:

2:57pm

2:47pm

Harriers boss Steve Burr has managed to offload Exodus Geohaghon, who made it clear he wanted to move to Mansfield, and brought in three others in a bid to get their season off the ground.

Barrow were hoping to bring in someone last night but did not manage to complete any business.
