League is our priority - Ferrell

Kidderminster Harriers

Kidderminster Harriers midfielder Andy Ferrell has said his side are focused on the league, despite reaching the third round of the FA Cup.

Harriers, who are currently fifth in the Blue Square Premier, will travel to midlands neighbours Coventry for their next Cup tie on 3 January.

But Ferrell told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "Our main aim is the league, the Cup is a luxury to be honest.

"We're in the top five, we want to stay there until the end of the season."

Harriers have six league games before their third-round match, starting with the visit of Salisbury to Aggborough on Saturday.

I'm suspended next week, although I'm sure someone will come in and do a good job

And Ferrell, who is unavailable for the Blue Square Premier clash, said he expects a tough test for his side.

"Salisbury will come here next week and they will probably play five in midfield, they might come for the draw.

"But I'm suspended next week, although I'm sure someone will come in and do a good job."

Meanwhile Harriers manager Mark Yates is set to rest a number of first-team players for Tuesdays's Worcestershire Senior Cup quarter-final at Stourbridge (kick-off 1945 GMT).

Harriers will field a youthful team, with defender Michael Bowler and midfielder Nathan Hayward likely to start.

Yates and his assistant Neil Howarth played in several games for Harriers in the competition last season.
