HARRY Ibbitson’s first Kidderminster Harriers goal earned his side an FA Cup replay following a 1-1 draw at Buxton in Third Round Qualifying.

Ibbitson levelled the game shortly after Kieran Burton opened the scoring for Buxton at the Tarmac Silverlands Stadium.

The draw means the tie will go to a replay at Kidderminster’s Aggborough Stadium on Tuesday, October 1 with kick-off at 7.45pm.

Buxton took the lead on 65 minutes when Burton forced the ball home from close range following a scramble in the box.

However, Harriers equalised four minutes later as teenager Ibbitson volleyed in Maz Kouhyar’s cross from the right from 12-yards out.
