Who Are... Kidderminster Harriers FC?
In what was a pulsating final at Wembley in May 2007, it is well documented that Kidderminster Harriers had to be the losers as Stevenage won the FA Trophy. Both sides shared the spoils in the league campaign, with each side winning 2-1 away from home, and in truth there wasn't a whole lot between the sides in the end save the seven points in the final 2006/7 table. A playoff spot was hoped for but in the end was too far out of reach.
In what was a fairly uninspiring 2007/8 season, the Harriers pottered along into what turned out to be a comfortable mid-table finish. The progress that the Worcestershire club had made the season before wasn't capitalised upon and there was no real danger of the Harriers gatecrashing the promotion push at any stage over the course of the campaign. But interestingly, the club scored just one less goal than they managed in their title-winning season - a 2007/8 tally of 74 certainly suggested they had goals in them.
The 2008/9 campaign was a hard-fought but ultimately frustrating campaign for the Worcestershire side, missing out on the playoffs by a mere couple of points on the final day of the season. Having engaged in a ding-dong battle with Stevenage and Oxford for the final berth in the top five, it just wasn't to be... but it provides plenty of encouragement for the 2009/10 season. Mark Yates has galvanised the Harriers into a formidable outfit, and it will be a foolish man who disregards the Harriers' ability to cause some major problems at the top end of the table come May 2010.
