Kidderminster Harriers were today handed a home draw against either Luton or Hinckley in the third round of the FA Trophy.

Harriers will welcome the winner of tomorrow night's game at Hinckley's Greene King Stadium to Aggborough on Saturday February 4.

The two were due to meet on Saturday but the match was called off due to a frozen pitch, while Harriers thumped Droylsden 5-1.

Should Hinckley go through, Harriers would face a Blue Square North team for the third round in a row, after Vauxhall Motors and the Bloods.

But Luton, two places above Harriers in third place of the Blue Square Premier, are still the hot favourites to go through.

Harriers handed a debut to on-loan winger James McQuilkin on Saturday, the 23-year-old playing the second-half as a substitute.

It was McQuilkin's first competitive appearance since November 12, having switched from Hereford to join Steve Burr's men for a month.

The West Bromwich-born wide man will be available for the third round tie and is hoping to be at full match fitness by then.

He said: "I haven't played that much lately so, obviously, there is a bit of rustiness there.

"Hopefully, I will keep growing in every game I play, get into the starting line-up and push on from there.

"I have looked at Kidderminster's progress, they are pushing for the play-offs and nobody can say they can't make it.

"It looks like we have got a decent squad so, hopefully, we can keep getting a few wins and keep ourselves in there."
