Yates warns of tough test

Kidderminster manager Mark Yates has warned his side they face "another big game" when they go to Kettering in the battle of the high-fliers.

The two teams will take to the field at the A-Line Arena with both punching above their weight in the Blue Square Premier.

The Poppies sit second in their first season back in the top-flight, while Yates's side sit fifth, a huge improvement on a 13th place finish last term.

But the Harriers boss warns that another big test awaits them - like every week.

He said: "We can easily slip back down, so we need to keep at it. Kettering are second in the league and are no mugs, so we need to tackle the game in the right way, as we have done so far.

"The preparation begins now for Saturday and we will be ready."

Harriers have also been drawn with Kings Lynn in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup. They will face Keith Webb's newly promoted Blue Square North side at the Walks Stadium on Saturday week.

Yates said: "It is a tough one, especially away from home. I know their assistant manager Lee Glover and know he will have them fired up. They have Simon Weaver in defence as well, who Harriers fans will know from his time here. And they have Julian Joachim!

"There are certainly easier draws in there - they are a good side."
