HARRIERS 4 SCARBOROUGH 0

HAVING conquered arguably the Conference's worst club in the previous round, Harriers reward is a clash against one of the division's best.

But if Martin O'Connor's men can repeat the kind of performance they produced to sink the struggling Seadogs, they have nobody to fear in the FA Trophy.

The prize for getting to round two is £2,000 and a January 14 clash against holders and Conference pace-setters Grays, when Kidderminster will again have home advantage.

It will surely provide a much sterner test than Neil Redfearn's Scarborough, who are easily the weakest team to have visited Aggborough this season.

In fairness to Kidderminster, however, they refused to let Scarborough settle and burst out of the blocks with a super start which could have seen them two-up within five minutes.

Russ Penn was the first to threaten with a fierce third minute drive which rattled the cross bar with keeper Ian Dunbavin well beaten.

And the woodwork was still shaking when Simon Heslop won the ball and without breaking his stride whacked a cracking volley against the top of the bar.

If Harriers felt hard done by, they certainly didn't show it as they continued to lay siege to the visitors' goal.

They got their just rewards on 13 minutes when Lee Thompson opened both the scoring and his Kidderminster account with the goal his best display in a Harriers shirt deserved.

It was a real poacher's goal from the diminutive striker who reacted quickly to nod in the rebound after Mark Jackson's header could only be parried into the air by Dunbavin.

With Scarborough struggling to keep the ball in play, let alone trouble Kidderminster keeper Dan Lewis it was no surprise to see the hosts extend their lead on 24 minutes.

This time full back Patrick Flynn swung over a super cross from the right and Michael Blackwood got up highest to squeeze a measured header between Dunbavin and his right hand post.

Goal number three was scored in similar circumstances when Terry Fleming whipped in a dangerous free kick and Iyseden Christie glanced in his 11th goal of the season with a smart header.

Harriers could have been seven-up by the break with Johnny Mullins having an effort hacked off the line, Blackwood seeing his audacious lob fall inches short and Christie poking wide of goal after a mistake by Steve Baker.

Scarborough meanwhile could only muster a dipping volley from Neil Bishop which fizzed just wide and a Lee Fowler free kick which deflected off Mark Quayle before being cleared.

It was the same story after the break as Dunbavin pulled off a string of impressive saves to keep the score down. One of his stops was from the penalty spot after Carl Cook was penalised for pulling Heslop's shirt.

But even though the Scarborough stopper pushed away Jackson's poor penalty, he was powerless to prevent Heslop bundling the ball in from close range.

Dunbavin produced further saves to keep out efforts from Blackwood and Wayne Hatswell as Harriers continued to run riot.

The Yorkshiremen created a moment of panic when Lewis spilled a drilled shot from Ashley Lyth, but Ian Clark fluffed the follow up from close range.

With frustration clearly getting the better of Scarborough, they picked up six bookings, the worst of which resulted from ex-Harrier Simon Weaver's wrestling style challenge on Blackwood.
