CHAMBERS SPARKLES AS UNITED ARE SUNK

BOSTON UNITED 0 KIDDERMINSTER H 2

CLASSY Kidderminster collected maximum points at the expense of Boston United.

The Harriers served up a controlled display. Admittedly, they looked to keeper Brandon Hall for a quartet of fine saves in the second half as the Pilgrims tried to find a way back.

Edward Williams set the ball rolling on 15 minutes. He found space on the right and bamboozled three defenders when cutting inside to net with a low drive.

Seven minutes later, Ashley Chambers rattled home number two with a powerful 20-yard finish after Fraser Horsfall had headed down a Joel Taylor free-kick.

Earlier, Boston had threatened with close calls by Craig Westcarr and Jonathan Wafula.

It was after the break that United kicked into life with a much brighter display and Hall excelled to thwart — in turn — Ben Davies, Wafula, Andre Johnson and Cieron Keane.

The Pilgrims also forced a welter of corners but the Harriers' rearguard successfully held firm under much pressure.

Kiddie’s cause was helped on 77 minutes when home full-back Jordan Gough was dismissed for second bootable offence.

And, but for the crossbar denying Joe Ironside late on, the victory margin could have been greater.
