KIDDERMINSTER Harriers moved top of the National League North table with a thrilling 3-2 victory against Scarborough Athletic.

Goals from Maz Kouhyar, Amari Morgan-Smith and Ashley Hemmings saw Harriers return to winning ways in the league at the Flamingo Land Stadium.

The result means Phil Brown’s side now lead the National League North table by one point, although second-placed Curzon Ashton have a game in-hand.

Kidderminster broke the deadlock on 15 minutes as Kouhyar drilled a low shot through the glove of Scarborough goalkeeper Ryan Whitley on the half-volley from 15-yards out.

However, the home side equalised just a minute later when Luca Colville headed in a cross from the left from six-yards out.

The visitors reclaimed the lead on 27 minutes as Morgan-Smith forced the ball home at the back post following a scramble in the box.




Scarborough drew level for a second time on 39 minutes when Harry Green’s venomous free-kick from just outside the penalty area deceived Harriers goalkeeper Christian Dibble.

However, Brown’s men took the lead for the third time on 68 minutes as Kouhyar released Morgan-Smith who squared the ball to Hemmings who finished into an empty net.


Kidderminster are next in action against Warrington Town on Saturday, January 18 with kick-off at 3pm at Aggborough.
