Mansfield 1-2 Kidderminster

Chris McFee
Harriers skipper Chris McPhee netted his 16th goal of the season

Kidderminster Harriers saw off a spirited Mansfield fightback to extend their unbeaten run to 12 games.

Chris McPhee put Harriers ahead when he latched onto Nick Wright's pass to tuck the ball under Stags keeper David Grof.

After the break Louis Briscoe's shot was cleared off the Harriers line and Adam Murray saw his header saved.

Keith Briggs doubled Harriers' lead when he fired into the roof of the net before Murray's strike from inside the box gave Mansfield late hope.


Kidderminster Harriers' Matty Blair told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"That's probably why we're doing so well - at the start of the season I think we were probably more likely to go down, according to some.

"So there has been no pressure on us whatsoever and we have such a great spirit here, and a great willingness to work for each other.

"We have a team that is more confident every week about winning and we just have to keep going.

"It's a big game against Luton next week. No doubt the fans will get behind us yet again and hopefully we can get a result for them."#
