Harriers warned against complacency

Kidderminster Harriers manager Steve Burr has warned his side not to under-estimate Eastbourne when the strugglers come to Aggborough.

Harriers come into tomorrow's Blue Square Premier match as hot favourites, after back-to-back wins in their last two games made it six unbeaten in the league.

With another win and if results go their way tomorrow, Burr's men could occupy a play-off place going into next week.

Eastbourne, conversely, are without a win in six games but are fast becoming the draw specialists of the division, having been involved in five all-square matches during that run, with the last two ending goalless.

Garry Wilson's side are not winning many games but they are tough to beat, hence their 16th place in the table.

With that in mind, Burr is hoping his players will take the game by the scruff of the neck and not drop points tomorrow, knowing anything less than a win will keep them out of the top five.

The manager must again do without midfielder Jack Byrne, who sits out the last game of a three-match ban, but Ollie Thorne is available for league action again after suspension.

His defensive cohort, Mark Albrighton, should also be fit after taking a knock to his ankle and played 90 minutes in the Worcestershire Senior Cup on Tuesday.

The Harriers boss has almost a full quota of players and wants everybody involved to take their opponents seriously tomorrow.

He said: "We have picked up some good results and put ourselves within touching distance of the play-offs.

"We want to keep that run going but we know that Garry Wilson has done a tremendous job down at Eastbourne.

"It's a good and well-run club and, on their day, they are an outfit that can cause teams problems, so we will have to be at our best."
