Reiss McNally opened the scoring inside three minutes before braces from Amari Morgan-Smith and Ashley Hemmings saw Harriers home and dry inside 70 minutes. 

Kam Kandoola completed the rout 15 minutes from time to secure back-to-back wins for Phil Brown's side who jumped two places into sixth. 

Harriers had started the afternoon in eighth-place but hit the front inside the opening three minutes when McNally glanced a header home from David Worrall's cross. 

Amari Morgan-Smith doubled their lead three minutes later when he raced on to a long ball forward to apply a cool finish past Will Brook. 

Hemmings put Kidderminster three to the good after just 17 minutes when he added the finishing touches to a low driven cross from Maziar Kouhyar. 

Kouhyar, who had clattered the crossbar moments before, laid on a second assist to set-up Morgan-Smith who kept his calm in front of goal to convert eight minutes before the break. 

Two minutes after the restart, Hemmings doubled his tally after rolling a neat finish into the net from an acute angle. 

Then, Tope Odabeyi played an instrumental role in the build-up as Kandoola put the seal on the win.
