PREVIEW | Kidderminster Harriers vs Chester
The quick turnaround of the Bank Holiday Weekend in the National League North sees the Blues off to Kidderminster on Monday.
Chester battled back well on Saturday, snatching a draw against Gateshead courtesy of a last minute own goal. Already with injury woes and recent covid troubles, Bern and Jonno were also without their talismanic skipper George Glendon for the game, again due to injury.
Despite the circumstances, the Blues put in a committed performance and their fighting spirit to the end brought reward deep into stoppage time.
Kidderminster have got off to a strong start this term. They backed up an opening day victory at York City with a convincing home win against Blyth Spartans. Coming into this one, they also drew 1-1 on Saturday – at Haig Avenue against Southport.
The Blues got their first win of last season at Aggborough with an opening day victory last October. Declan Weeks was the matchwinner against his former club that night, and – having played Saturday – post match Anthony Johnson confirmed he will ‘probably miss Monday’ due to a groin injury.
It is backs against the wall stuff for the stricken Blues at present, so they will need all of your support down at Kidderminster.
