Date: 20-08-22 Match preview Vs Bradford (PA) Venue: Horsfield Stadium Kick off: 15:00hrs Preview: Phil Lench After just three games the Harriers crumbled to their first defeat of the season on Tuesday evening when Curzon Ashton went into a two goal lead following defensive errors. We got a goal back through substitute Ethan Freemantle late in the game but couldn’t quite manage an equaliser although we did come close when Ashley Hemmings saw a strike superbly saved by the Curzon keeper, Chris Renshaw. Now we have to go up to Bradford Park Avenue and get back on the winning trail. In our favour we still have a 100% away win record but we have only played one game away and

Date: 16-08-22 Match preview Vs Curzon Ashton Venue: Aggborough Kick off: 19:45hrs Preview: Phil Lench The Harriers will be hoping to build on Saturdays game at home to Leamington FC tomorrow evening when Curzon Ashton pay us a visit.

Just minutes before the game Ethan Freemantle came off injured following a clash of heads that resulted in him limping off with a foot injury. Since then a Russ Penn video tells us that the foot injury was something to do with his head injury and he’s fit

Date: 06-08-22 Match preview Vs Blyth Spartans Venue: Croft Park Kick off: 15:00hrs Preview: Phil Lench The Harriers will have a long way to go in the search for their first three points of the new season. We were given a long trip to Blyth Spartans when the fixtures were announced a month ago and it’s a trip that is probably better out of the way in a warm, sunny August than a cold, dank February. With a largely new squad of players to see there should be a good, healthy following off to the Northern suburbs of Newcastle to see the Reds. A few days ago we added what is seemingly the final player to the team when Ben
