York City are into the hat for the FA Cup first round draw after beating Kidderminster Harriers.

Danny Racchi opened the scoring for York after 24 minutes to claim his first goal for the club.

Jonathan Smith also opened his account for the Minstermen when he added a second goal.

Kidderminster had substitute Ollie Thorne sent off and in the final minute Matty Blair had a long-range effort disallowed for offside.

Kidderminster Harriers manager Steve Burr told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"We haven't been doing things that have seen us on a good run of results. We were second best today.

"If you're going to win matches you've got to score goals, and we didn't look like scoring today.

"It's the first time as a manager that I've been in to see a referee after a game [after Matty Blair's disallowed goal]. I find the offside hard to take."

York City manager Gary Mills told BBC Radio York:
"The lads enjoyed playing today. They were smiling. It's been a while since everybody at York smiled.

"We're smiling tonight. We're in the hat tomorrow. We hope for a good draw."
