Match winner Chris McPhee revealed after Saturday's game at Altrincham that slotting home the winner from the spot was actually easier than it first appeared!

McPhee got off the mark for the season with a 79th minute spot kick - a goal he's dedicated to his new baby daughter.

With the pressure on and Harriers needing a result, many could have forgiven the former Ebbsfleet man for feeling a few nerves as he stepped up against James Coates between the sticks.

But, speaking after the final whistle, he confessed: "To be honest the goalkeeper pretty much gave it to me, he went that early!

"I was actually going to go [his side] but he went so early that I saw it and rolled it in the other side so it was a simple enough job.

"I'm pleased for the boys - we've been grafting a lot for the last couple of games and not really got what we've deserved but I felt today we can be happy with three points, though there are still things to work on."

Harriers soared out of the early bottom four with what was just their second victory of the season.

Now all eyes are on making further movement up the standings, with a 'free' week of training ahead before the action returns to Aggborough for the visit of Hayes & Yeading United next weekend.

McPhee went on to add: "We know that we are so close to being that side we want to be, week in, week out.

"It's about consistency and learning how each other plays but there were glimpses today in the 90 minutes of what we can achieve as a team.

"We want to take as much of that into the next game as possible and keep progressing.

"Any team in any league wants to do the things that serve them well for a full game and coming to a place like this today, where it can be physical, we're pleased to take three points back home."
