Kidderminster moved up to second in the Blue Square Premier table with a 3-2 victory over Eastbourne.

Harriers led after Justin Richards notched his eighth goal of the season with Brian Smikle heading home for 2-0.

The hosts pulled one back after Paul Armstrong found the net from close range with Andy Ferrell restoring the two-goal lead soon after.

Borough set up a tense finish after Matt Crabb converted brother Nathan's cross, but Kidderminster held on.

Eastbourne manager Garry Wilson told BBC Southern Counties Radio:

But I'm really disappointed with the quality of football played in the first half.
