Defiant Kidderminster boss Steve Burr today insisted Harriers haven't blown their play-off chances despite being held by relegated Eastbourne Borough.

They drew 1-1 at Priory Lane on Saturday — a result which saw the home side drop out of the Blue Square Premier. It also left Harriers four points off the top five.

Fleetwood's 3-1 win over Altrincham moved them clear of sixth-placed Harriers, who play their game in hand at home to Darlington tomorrow.

They then face a do-or-die home showdown with Fleetwood on Friday and Burr refused to write off their chances.

He said: "We've still got a chance but on Saturday our decision making was wrong in certain parts of the pitch and we didn't adapt to the game as we would have liked.

"I don't want to take anything away from Eastbourne because it's a point for them but not enough to keep them in the division.

"I just felt that was our poorest performance for a number of weeks. We're disappointed but we managed to get something out of it."

And defender Mark Albrighton admitted Harriers were deflated but pleased to take a point after Tom Shaw's equaliser.

"We're very disappointed - it feels like a defeat," he said.

"It just wasn't our day."
