Date: 30-07-22 Harriers end pre-season in fine form Report by Phil Lench: The Harriers finished their pre-season games with a solid 4-1 win away at neighbours Halesowen Town today. Goals from Nathaniel Knight-Percival, Nathan Lowe, Zak Brown and Jack Tolley set them up nicely for the season opener at Blyth Spartans next weekend. The line-up for the game included just the one trialist (A) with the others (B, C, D and E seemingly no longer around) while Trialist F from the midweek game against a Manchester Utd XI was named yesterday as Gabriel Rogers following his putting pen to paper. He was on the bench while A looked as if he had dropped back into the full back role due
Date: 26-07-22 United side edge dull final home friendly Report by Dan Harper: A talented side of Manchester United academy players came out 1-0 victors past a fighting Harriers side in a fairly uneventful final home friendly for the Harriers. Noticeably this was a fixture the Harriers took very seriously which looked to initially shake the talented opposition with notable early crunch tackles from Nathan Lowe and Harriers also testing Dermot Mee from the first whistle. The two sides shared their fair few chances within the first twenty minutes as Tom Palmer saved chances from the likes of number nine Charlie McNeill and the highly rated Shola Shoretire who previously has played for Manchester United in European football. Harriers had
Date: 22-07-22 Youthful Liverpool side punish Harriers Report by Dan Harper: A fast tempo youthful Liverpool XI came away from Aggborough with a 3-1 victory following a promising, yet slightly wasteful, showing from the home side. It was a game that also saw Ethan Freemantle add to his ever-growing pre-season tally. The Harriers saw the best of the early chances with the best of note being on the 17th minute where a cross-ball pass to Caleb Richards led to Trialist C being put through on goal only to have his finish expertly dealt with by the young Liverpool goalkeeper Luke Hewitson. It would be a minute later that the theme of the night would start to become apparent when Jake
Date: 12-07-22 Harriers go on the raid Report by Phil Lench: Two Harriers teams in each half came away with an easy 5-0 win at Worcester Raiders this evening, our first friendly before the coming season. Played at Sixways, the home of Worcester Warriors rugby club, in front of a healthy following from both side it was the Harriers first half team that looked the more dangerous. With three trialists on show it was Trialist B that looked to be the most useful. A player very much in the mould of the recently departed Sammy Austin, both in build and technique. It’s been rumoured that he is Jack Holmes formerly of Burton Albion and more recently Halesowen Town and on
Date: 06-07-22 It all starts at Blyth Spartans The 2022-23 season for Kidderminster Harriers will get underway on August 6th with our longest trip of the season all the way to Blyth Spartans, somewhere North of Newcastle. Last season we kicked off the season away at York City and won there in their new stadium so, in a way, we don’t seem to mind travelling to the other end of the country on opening day. Apart from the usual Christmas fare when we go to Hereford FC on Boxing Day and come back to Aggborough on New Years Day then we have our August Bank Holiday game at home to newly promoted Peterborough Sports on the 27th and then pop
