Harriers bugged out ahead of trip

Kidderminster are still feeling the effects of a bug that has swept through the club ahead of the trip to Crawley tomorrow (3pm).

Dean Bennett, Chris Beardsley and goalkeeper Dean Coleman all missed the FA Trophy win over Burscough in midweek, while Matthew Barnes-Homer and Brian Smikle played through the illness.

All are hoped to be fit for the Blue Square Premier clash, although with Harriers chasing promotion, such a hinderance to preparations is the last thing manager Mark Yates needed.

He said: "It's hit us over the last ten days or so but hopefully we're just coming to the end of it now. There are a few who aren't 100 per cent and we'll just see where we are.

"We're hoping we'll have everyone available but we'll have to wait on one or two who've been missing from training. But whatever team we take to Crawley will be capable of getting a result."
