Bartlett had been hoping to play former club Blyth in the second round

Kidderminster goalkeeper Adam Bartlett played down his role in Saturday's FA Cup first round win over Cambridge.

Bartlett impressed in the 1-0 win as Harriers set up a second-round clash with minnows Curzon Ashton.

Bartlett told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "Credit to us we defended well, I made the saves, but that's my job.

"[Felino Jardim] hit the post, and we were lucky to get away with it, and it could have changed things but luckily it came back out."

"I was very pleased with my performance, but the 10 in front and subs when they came on put on a great shift and I think there were 10, 11, 12, 13 heroes."

Bartlett says he would have preferred a game against Saturday's other giant-killers Blyth Spartans, who beat Shrewsbury Town 3-1.

He used to play for the Spartans and left the north-east side to move to Aggborough.
