Kidderminster Harriers were fully dominant at Aggborough for the second time inside a week as they defeated Grays Athletic by a single goal to secure back to back league wins.

Looking at the score line, one would think today's efforts were far less than in midweek when Harriers thumped Stafford for six, and yet in so many ways this performance was even better.

Harriers were slick, sharp and creative and should have easily won this game by more than just the one goal.

Grays struggled to get out of second gear all day - or weren't allowed to - but they did provide a sterner test than Steve Bull's side, and as such it was a slightly quieter start.

Seven minutes in though, Iyseden Christie should really have done better as he latched onto a superb through-ball from Dean Bennett in the area; the striker shot at 'keeper Ross Flitney with the goal gaping.

With 20 minutes on the clock, Luke Jones of all people found himself forward as his shot was blocked by a visiting defender, midfielder Russell Penn ended up with the ball at his feet but fired his effort over the bar.

Three minutes further on and the home side were given the lead in real style. Darryl KNIGHTS has simply oozed confidence over the past few weeks - he got the ball some 25 yards from goal and completely ignored all other options, finding the far-post wonderfully with a great strike.

On 32 minutes, Russell's cross-field wonder ball eventually found Christie who had a shot held, four minutes later Knights had an effort blocked off the line after jumping over the goalkeeper.

Just seconds after the break, Penn could have made it 2-0 after he took the ball down brilliantly in the box but he hit over the bar.

After Christie saw a great curling shot go just over the bar at an angle, Grays went close as substitute Aaron O'Connor blazed off-target.

Just before the hour mark it was pinball in the Grays box until Russell got his foot to the ball, a fine half-volley was watched all the way by Flitney and was well held.

15 minutes before the end, Penn wasted a golden chance to double his team's advantage - Knights' great centre was left cleverly by Christie, for the onrushing Penn. He had a chance to take a touch but struck it first time, the ball sailing over the bar.

Grays lacked quality in the final third which made a waste of their relatively good build-up play; ten minutes from time they were lucky not to be further behind with Christie again unable to find the target. Put through well by Russell, the bustling front-man waited too long to pull the trigger and was denied by Flitney.

Russell had a good 20-yard shot held moments later, whilst Knights' last action of the game was to smash the ball into the side netting whilst in plenty of space.

There was a late warning that the hosts would be made to pay for not taking their chances, Jamie Taylor got himself in a good position but got his shot horribly wrong and off target.

As one-sided a game you could wish to see, Harriers complete a good weeks' work and look ahead to next Thursday's televised game at Stevenage.
