Harriers Fans Team 1 Harriers Trust 6

The supporters side finished off another season at Aggborough Stadium this past Wednesday evening against the Harriers Trust sunday side.

In the annual end of season game between the two KHIST sides unsurprisingly the supporters team found life hard against a team who play in the Kidderminster and District sunday premier league.

You could sense the excitement in the air as a 17 man squad turned up in their suits for the sides first ever game at the mighty Aggborough stadium with Mike Cooper operating the sound system, scoreboard as well as producing a match programme.

For the first 20 minutes the supporters side worked hard and kept the Trust at bay with good defending by Dave Williams, Ollie Sewell and Mark Young. The Trust though soon started to show their greater experience and took the lead through regular fans team player Chris Lacey. The goal was a blow to the fans team who went on to concede two more to trail 3-0 at half time.

With the fans team kicking towards the North Stand second half manager Dave Pountney handed debuts to Ian Foster and Neil Howarth in the hope of staging a comeback.

It was Fozzie who pulled a goal back for the fans team with a quality finish after the ball dropped to his feet in the area.

Unfortunately though this spurred the Trust into action who added further goals in the second half to give the Trust a comfortable victory. Further Trust goalscorers were Marc Vaughan (2), Richard Hall (both Harriers season ticket holders) and Paul Newton (2).

The Fans team put in a spirited performance in a match where the scoreline was irrelevant.

On a sunny night at Aggborough the team rounded off the season in style and most of the side fulfilled a dream of playing on the Aggborough turf.

To top it off the players even got to play with Ian Foster and Neil Howarth who very kindly gave up an evening to play for the team.

Team: Ian Foster, Andrew Coffield, Tom Sharland, Mike Peplow, Dave Williams, Dave Pountney, Ollie Sewell, Pete Lewis, Wayne Allen, Sam Flory, John Wenham, Mark Young, Dave Ackerley, Adam Mathews, Rob Hart, David Greaves and Neil Howarth.

Scorer : Ian Foster
