KIDDERMINSTER Harriers goalkeeper James Crump scored a dramatic injury-time equaliser and then saved a penalty in the shootout as the club advanced in the FA Youth Cup.

Crump saw his long kick from just inside the Harriers half beat his opposite number in the Chasetown goal six minutes into injury time at Aggborough.

And Crump then saved a spot kick in the resulting penalty shootout as Harriers triumphed 4-3 to reach the next round of the competition.

Chasetown took the lead on the half-hour mark after catching Harriers in possession high up the pitch.

And the visitors doubled their lead seven minutes later after Crump tipped an initial effort onto the crossbar.

However, Bruce Minaker halved the deficit for Harriers from the penalty spot five minutes before half time.




And Kidderminster stunned Chasetown at the death as keeper Crump sent the game to a shootout.

Crump’s long kick up the pitch went over the advancing Chasetown goalkeeper and bounced into the net to spark wild scenes of celebration.


And Harriers then held their nerve in the shootout, as Crump made a crucial stop, as Kidderminster booked their place in third round qualifying.
