Harriers boss clued up on Cambridge

Kidderminster Harriers manager Steve Burr today revealed he has clued up on Cambridge ahead of the trip to the Abbey Stadium.

Burr has had tomorrow's opponents watched in their previous Blue Square Premier matches, to get the low-down on the U's ahead of the game.

Cambridge opened their campaign with a draw at Wrexham last Saturday, before beating AFC Telford at home on Tuesday night.

They count Tom Shaw, who played for Harriers last season, in their ranks along with former Aggborough loanee Ryan Charles, who returned from injury in midweek.

Harriers are a point behind them after losing to Gateshead in their season opener but come into the game on the back of an impressive victory at Lincoln, just relegated from the Football League.

Michael Briscoe and Jack Cresswell are still not ready to return for Harriers after back and hamstring injuries, while Jack Byrne still has two games to go of a five-match ban.

Steve Burr's men are set to be unchanged from the team that won at Sincil Bank and the manager insists he will know what to expect from Cambridge.

He said: "We've had them watched and they've had a good start. We know that we're going there to play on a pitch that will be in good condition.

"The reports show that they like to get the ball down and play it - we will go and play the same way and we are looking to win the game.

"Hopefully we can build on Tuesday with another strong performance."

Two players from Harriers' new academy, Declan Kirby and Dan Taylor, have been called up to trials with the England schoolboys team.

The duo, who joined the club upon formation of the academy this summer, will spend five days with the under-18 group later this month.
