Match Preview: Kidderminster vs South Shields

We make the midweek trip down to Kidderminster to face Kidderminster Harriers in the Vanarama National League North.

We are fresh off of two consecutive wins in the Vanarama National League North against Warrington Town and most recently Kings Lynn.

Our last fixture against Kings Lynn saw us come away with maximum points with goals coming from Paul Blackett and Kyle Crossley.

We currently sit 14th in the league.

The Opposition

Kidderminster Harriers currently sit in 4th place.

Most recently they faced Farsley Celtic, a game in which they won 1-0 with the goal coming from Ben Beresford.

The Red's boss is South Shields-born Phil Brown. On 10 January 2024, Brown was appointed manager of National League side Kidderminster Harriers on a contract until the end of the season. Despite having overseen an initial upturn in form, winning six of his first eight matches in charge, Brown was unable to prevent the club being relegated.

Following the final match of the season, Brown and his assistant Neil McDonald both signed new two-year contracts

Elliott's Thoughts

We have yet another away game tomorrow against a team doing well in the division.

They have a really experienced Manager Phil Brown in charge and we know like all of our games this will be a difficult game.

Our last two performances and results have been really good and we are looking to continue our run of results and maintain our consistency in how we play.
