Match Report |
The inability to defend corners cost Kidderminster dear as they threw
away the lead in a fourteen minute spell in the second half. Despite
some early pressure from the home team, Kidderminster held a deserved,
if controversial, half time lead. As Webb's header cleared the
defence, Bennett was clearly offside but not interfering with play
as Durnin ran through to score.
After the break Westwood's early goal brought Hartlepool to life and knocked Kidderminster out of their stride. Within minutes they had failed to clear another Shilton corner and were behind, and when Clarkson pushed Boyd as Brock was saving Midgley's shot Uriah Rennie immediately pointed to the spot. Brock gave the visitors brief hope diving to his left to save the spot kick but was not quick enough to stop Miller following up. Jan Molby made a triple substitution in the hope of saving the situation but to no avail. |
