Leaders are too strong for Kiddy

Two quickfire second-half goals saw Kidderminster beaten at National Premier leaders Cheltenham.

A goalmouth melee on eight minutes should have seen Cameron Burgess net for the hosts but his final attempt was stabbed wide of the near post.

Dean Snedker then came to the visitors' rescue diving bravely at the feet of Danny Wright as the former Harriers striker attempted to control James Dayton's angled cross into the area.

On 34 minutes the home side were denied a penalty as Kyle Storer's goalbound effort appeared to strike the arm of Keith Lowe as he dived in to block, however referee Ollie Yates waved away the appeals.

Harriers were unlocked on 50 minutes, James Rowe's corner caused havoc in the box and Tyrone Williams handled allowing Wright the chance to net his 20th goal of the campaign, sending Snedker the wrong way from the spot.

Harriers struggled to regroup and when Rowe was allowed space to get in down the Harriers right, his pinpoint centre was bundled in by Dan Holman.

Harry White stung the fingertips of home keeper Dillon Phillips late on but Cheltenham held on.
