Date: 17-10-21The Harriers draw Grimsby Town in the Cup The Harriers reward for their FA Cup 4th qualifying round win at Bedfont Sports FC yesterday will be to renew old acquaintances with Grimsby Town. On our way to Bedfont on the supporters coach yesterday we passed the Victoria Ground, the home of Bromsgrove Sporting, where Grimsby were about to arrive for their game against them. The Mariners ran out as easy 5 – 0 winners and, if foresight had been in mind, they could have stayed in Worcestershire to travel the few miles to play us. We last played against Grimsby at Aggborough in August 2015 when we drew 2-2 with our goals coming from Reece Styche and Aman Verma.
Date: 20-09-21Ware or Hemel in the next round of the Cup Following on from the excitement and the short trip to Sporting Khalsa on Saturday the Harriers will face a long trip to either Ware FC or Hemel Hempstead Town in the next round of the FA Cup. On Saturday we ran out 3-1 winners against Khalsa in what was a very tough game to start with but as the second half progressed we began to show our superiority and also our fitness. The three goals did help in that though. Those goals came from Sam Austin and Nyal Bell who scored twice and also his first goals since signing for us back in July. Now we have to face
Date: 06-09-21Harriers off to Khalsa in the Kup It’s a new club and a new ground as the Harriers embark in this seasons FA Cup. On September 18th we’ll be off to Sporting Khalsa in the 2nd Qualifying round of the FA Cup and it could be interesting. Khalsa play their games in the Pitching In Northern Premier at the Guardian Warehousing Arena in Willenhall. It’s correct name is Noose Lane but the Grundiad Wherehousing something or other sounds so much better. Noose Lane was the former home of Willenhall Town who sold the ground to Khalsa and then following a period of dormancy the club re-formed and now play in Wolverhampton. The pitch also has a 3G surface. Back
Date: 06-08-21A Sammy Screamer gives us the draw Report by Harriershane: A rare offering of Friday night football at Aggborough saw the Harriers face even rarer opposition in Manchester United’s Under 23’s. What The Red Devils side lacked in age, they made up with pure talent, with future stars such as seventeen year old Shola Shoretire, former Monaco youth product and Tunisian international Hannibal Mejbri (18) and, fresh from Wales’ Euro 2020 squad, Dylan Levitt just a sample of the players on show. Making an appearance from the bench was Charlie Savage, son of Robbie, himself a former United Academy player. For Harriers Jaiden White was handed a start whilst there was the welcome return of the trialist Geraldo Bajrami,
Date: 03-08-21Cameron comes in Following a series of trial games the Harriers have, today, announced the expected signing of free agent Nathan Cameron. The tall fullback has generally impressed in the friendlies with a few hiccups but they can be ironed out. The tall twenty nine year old started life at Coventry City where he played in the first team fifty two times before falling out of favour. He spent time out on loan with Nuneaton and Northampton before being released to join the now defunct Bury. After three seasons and 148 games for the Shakers he then joined the now defunct Macclesfield Town. I hope this isn’t a bad omen? He was last with Solihull Moors for a while
Date: 03-08-21The Harriers kids lose at Worcester City A Harriers XI side travelled the short distance to Claines this evening to take on Worcester City at their new ground. As at Stourport Swifts a few weeks there were no senior players chosen but there were a couple that have seen first team action in more recent friendlies. James Dutton, Luke Bastable and Kai Lissimore have all played at some stage while the goalkeeper Player L has also been seen mainly on the bench. He was given a number, 21, at Halesowen leading one to think that he may become a permanent fixture. City’s first goal came in the thirty fourth minute when the former Halesowen Town striker, Dan Westwood, slotted
Date: 31-07-21Harriers lay a recent Halesowen hoodoo to rest The Harriers made the short trip to The Grove, home of Halesowen Town, for today’s preseason friendly. Notable by their absences were Jack Tolley, who has impressed throughout the preseason programme, and Amari Morgan Smith. One person who was there though was Walsall loanee Joe Foulkes after his loan deal was announce yesterday. Despite The Yeltz having the better of recent friendly encounters it was the Harriers who broke the deadlock within the first three minutes after enterprising play from Keziah Martin enabled him to finish a move he started by driving a rebounded Sammy Austin shot back in from a sharp angle. In reply the Yeltz came oh so close
Date: 27-07-21Harriers lose another friendly The Harriers fell to another pre-season friendly defeat when they went down 3-2 at Stratford Town. Out of the five played so far we have won just the once at Evesham Utd. The hosts took an early lead through Will Grocott when he rifled the ball home from outside the area beyond the reach of the trialist keeper after nine minutes. Both keepers this evening were trialists so giving the Harriers Online sponsored Luke Simpson the evening off. The Harriers were slow to respond as they took their time to get into gear with both Ashley Hemmings and Amari Morgan-Smith trying their luck with, sadly, weak efforts. The Reds went into the break on the
