Harriers v Hyde (From Kidderminster Shuttle)

9:40pm

It's over! Harriers were excellent in the first half but made hard work of it after the break. Still, they are unbeaten in nine games and have won three of the last four.

9:39pm

Phil Jeavons is booked for a terrible two footed challenge on Demetriou.

9:35pm

Blissett cleverly runs over a ball and Adam Watkins shoots wide. He deserved a goal for his efforts.

9:32pm

Harriers have six minutes of time added on because of Gowling's injury.

9:28pm

Attendance: 1,457 (36)

9:27pm

Blissett plays Lee Vaughan into the box but keeper Firth has it covered.

9:27pm

Harriers are applying some pressure now but the final ball is not good enough at the moment.

9:25pm

Harrier carve out a chance. Lee Vaughan crosses from the right and with Ryan Rowe racing in at far post, keep Frith just gets a hand to the ball. Marvin Johnson rakes the ball across the face of goal but the danger has passed.

9:20pm

Final change for Harriers as Kyle Storer replaces James Vincent in the 79th minute.

9:18pm

It's all gone a bit bitty as Mickey Demetriou needs treatment after being barged by Andy Pearson.

9:15pm

Gowling is given a round of applause as he is carried off. He is replaced by Mike Williams.

9:13pm

Worrying for Harriers as defensive rock Josh Gowling needs treatment. The stretcher has come out.

9:11pm

Harriers survive a scare when Jamie Spencer is given space to shoot but Nathan Vaughan blocks.

9:09pm

Harriers make their first change in the 67th minute. Marvin Johnson replaces Anthony Malbon.

9:08pm

Harriers go close! From a good Watkins free-kick, Malbon gets a head to it but Gowling can't connect at far post.

At the other end, Ryan Crowther sees a shot blocked.

9:06pm

Nice interplay between Watkins and Malbon ends frustratingly when Malbon on the left curls an over ambitious effort very off target.

9:04pm

Mickey Demetriou is booked for a foul on Stefan Cox as he tore past the defender.

9:02pm

Harriers have fallen asleep and Hyde are to their credit going forward. Nathan Vaughan makes a good save to deny David Poole.

8:59pm

Hyde are bringing on experienced striker Phil Jeavons and Stefan Cox in the 57th minute for Callum Byrne and Tunji Moses respectively.

8:56pm

The ball falls to Jamie Spencer in Harriers' box but he bananas a shot well wide.

8:55pm

Harriers startIng to pose a threat again and Rowe drives into the box, cuts to his right and shoots across the face of the goal.

8:54pm

Harriers keep the ball for a spell but a Demetriou cross hits the stanction of the arena.

8:52pm

We're back but in the first five minutes of the half nothing has really happened.

8:32pm

That's the break. Harriers thoroughly deserve their lead but manager Steve Burr has been urging his players on and clearly wants them to score a boat load. Let's hope the goals for Harriers keep coming after the break.

8:31pm

Liam Tomsett shows if Harriers fall asleep Hyde have some fight. He battled with Dunkley and slides a shot across the face of goal. Moments later, he steers a 20-yard effort off target.

8:27pm

Nathan Blissett has worked his socks off but has yet to score for Harriers. He squanders a chance when Demetriou crosses from the left but the big striker heads well wide. The hitman mis-timed his leap but he's a young lad who's learning.

8:25pm

Anthony Malbon races onto a lovely through ball by from Demetriou but he opts to take a touch instead of a first time shot and Firth smothers the ball.

8:19pm

Watkins goes close again from the corner. The on-loan Luton man drills in a shot which crashed off the base of the far post.

8:19pm

Adam Watkins goes close! Lee Vaughan crosses from the right and the late arriving Adam Watkins heads goal wards but Ashley Frith tips it over! 

8:13pm

Harriers are their own worst enemy and Mickey Demetriou's poor pass gives the ball to Ryan Crowther on the edge of the box, luckily Keith Briggs makes a good block. My only worry tonight is Harriers thinking this is too easy.

8:10pm

It was a really cool finish by Rowe, who has scored five goals in five.

8:05pm

Harriers nearly make it 2-0. Mickey Demetriou delivers the ball from the left and Dunkley's looping far post header hits the top of the bar.

8:04pm

Hyde change in the 20th as Ben Dennis is replaced by Andy Pearson.

8:02pm

Great finish by Vincent for his first goal of the season but also lovely work by Blissett, who is improving with every game. The big striker also drove forward with intent minutes before the game.

7:58pm

Harriers as expected are seeing more of the ball. If they can piece it all together then can score goals against a porous looking  Hyde defence.

7:57pm

Keith Briggs is shown a yellow card for a lunge on Kelvin Lomax. 

7:55pm

Josh Gowling, who is Harriers' player of the month, sees a long ball go too far.

7:53pm

Harriers could have scored! Adam Watkins delivers a fine corner and at the far post and Ryan Rowe fires wide. 

7:51pm

Nathan Blissett chases down Chey Dunkey's long ball forward. He beats Firth on edge of the box but a defender clears for a corner.

7:50pm

A warning sign for Harriers. Chey Dunkley slides into make a fine block on David Poole as he shoots after good work by Ryan Crowther. 

7:48pm

Harriers seeing a lot of the ball down the right. Anthony Malbon heads the ball into the path of Lee Vaughan but as he races into the box Firth dives on the ball.

7:46pm

A neat move sees Lee Vaughan cross from the right but Hyde clear.

7:44pm

Harriers nearly pounce on a poor back pass by Ryan Crowther but with Anthony Malbon lurking, keeper Ashley Firth clears.
