Chairman Gordon has taken charge of first team affairs at Aggborough following the departure of Neil MacFarlane earlier this week following a run of just two wins in 10 games.

And there was more National League North disappointment for Harriers last night despite a spirited performance.

The visitors threatened early when Declan Weeks fired over and then supplied a cross from which Kane Richards headed wide.

Harriers keeper Brandon Hall was called into action to save a free-kick from Stephen Brogan before Richards was denied at the other end by a superb point-blank save from Matthew Gould.

Spennymoor took the lead through Andrew Johnson but were pegged back immediately when Aaron Phillips headed home a cross from Lee Vaughan.

The hosts bagged the winner five minutes into the second half through Ryan Hall.
