Altrincham 2-2 Kidderminster

Altrincham came from behind to secure a draw against promotion hopefuls Kidderminster and all but secure their place in the Blue Square Premier.

Michael Welsh's header from Shaun Densmore's cross put the home side in front but Martin Brittain's free-kick after half-time levelled matters.

Kidderminster went in front when Brittain crossed for Matthew Barnes-Homer to head home.

But in stoppage time, Colin Little's penalty earned Altrincham a point.


Kidderminster manager Mark Yates told BBC Hereford & Worcester:

"I thought we were outstanding today - absolutely fantastic.

"It was right that we rested a few people, but I wasn't taking any liberties or not giving Altrincham respect.

"In fact, I was giving them more respect by playing a team that had fresh legs in it, but in the first half we just weren't ruthless enough."
