Harriers look to relegate Eastbourne

Kidderminster Harriers can call upon captain Keith Briggs again as they look to hammer the final nail in the coffin of all-but-relegated Eastbourne.

Harriers go to the Langney Sports Club tomorrow knowing anything less than a win for the home side will condemn them to the drop.

Midfielder Briggs is also back for the visitors after missing the 3-3 draw at Grimsby last weekend to attend the birth of his first child, son Benjamin.

Defenders Michael Briscoe and Mike Williams will continue playing through the pain barrier to take their places, despite nursing foot and calf injuries respectively.

But loan utility man Matthew Lowe is out after turning his ankle and, although he is making progress from a calf problem, striker Lee Morris is another week away from returning.

The contrasting fortunes of the two teams will be evident as, while Eastbourne are fighting for their lives against the odds, Harriers are looking to get back into the play-off places.

However, manager Steve Burr has drummed into his players this week that they will need to do more than turn up to win.

He said: "In football, anything is capable of happening. The likes of Eastbourne have been in this league for a few years now and they won't want to let that go by getting relegated without a fight.

"It's always a difficult place to go. I think it is important that we just go down there and approach the game in the same way we have been doing, trying to get ourselves in front and push on from there.

"We're playing a side that is wounded and confidence will be low, so we need to make sure we don't give them any sort of lift at all."
