Home tie in trophy for Harriers
Kidderminster Harriers will again take on lower league opposition in the second round of the FA Trophy with a home game against either Hampton & Richmond or Lewes.
The Blue Square South strugglers will play again at Lewes' Dripping Pan ground tonight, with the winners to travel to Aggborough for the January 9 tie.
Harriers have a vital cluster of four Blue Square Premier games to negotiate between now and then, starting with a trip to Hayes & Yeading on Saturday.
A double header with Chester kicks off at home on Boxing Day with the return game at the Deva Stadium on New Years day, a trip to Rushden & Diamonds sandwiched in-between on December 28.
Manager Mark Yates will need all bodies present and accounted for in the coming games, but has been able to welcome goalkeeper Dean Coleman back to training after an illness.
But with deputy Jasbir Singh keeping a clean sheet on his debut at Matlock, the youngster will not be shifted easily.
Yates said: "Dean was ill late last week, we are hoping he will be back in training today and fit for selection at the weekend. Jas did great on Saturday, he didn't have a lot to do but he did what was asked of him well. The lad is a decent keeper, we knew that all along.
"Will he keep his place? We will see. I have got a few decisions to make for the weekend with a number of players back in contention. After a good performance, it's a nice position to be in."
