Harriers draw not the Wright result

Kidderminster Harriers striker Nick Wright today admitted the draw with York should have been a win after the play-off rivals finished all square at Aggborough.

Last night's 1-1 stalemate kept both teams in the Blue Square Premier's top five and extended Harriers' unbeaten run at home to 11 games.

But not winning could have been costly for the hosts - Gateshead would have dumped them out of the play-off places had they won at Kettering.

But the sixth-placed Heed blew their lines by losing 2-1 to the Poppies, who hadn't won in 13 games, after ex-Harriers loanee Aman Verma's late goal.

Results went the way of Steve Burr's men last night but, had they not, forward Wright admits they would have been kicking themselves.

He said: "To be honest, I feel as though we could have got the three points.

"The gaffer told us to just keep doing what we were doing and hopefully we would get something out of it, which we did.

"You look at York - they are a good side and to take four points off them this season is great for us.

"We are in the middle of a hard run-in but we believe we can beat anyone in this league."

Wright, himself, had a shot cleared off the line in the 20th minute before Chris Smith headed York ahead on 57 minutes.

With five minutes to go, on-loan substitute James McQuilkin's first goal for Harriers saved a point, from a 35 yard free kick that floated into the net.

Wright said: "It was a great ball in by Macca and I don't think anyone needed to touch it."
