Kidderminster 2-0 Histon

A goal in each half by Matthew Barnes-Homer helped Kidderminster Harriers into the play-off places.

His first came when he followed up the rebound after Dean Bennett's 25-yard effort hit the post, and his second in injury time was an 18-yard shot.

The visitors began well with Adam Bygrave and Jack Midson going close.

Harriers defender Luke Jones did well to block a Midson effort and clear after Josh Simpson's shot, before Barnes-Homer netted again.


Harriers manager Mark Yates told BBC Hereford & Worcester:

"We've run out worthy winners in the end because we've put our bodies on the line.

"We've worked hard for 90 minutes and the players understand that's what they have to do.

"These boys can do anything they want to do because they've got a great spirit about them and we've got a good squad."
