Kidderminster are by all accounts a decent club and serious challengers for that second promotion spot via the playoffs. Not that I'm handing the title to Cambridge but they are looking the most likely winners currently. Anyway here comes a Big Test. A chance to extend our unbeaten run, to boost morale before Santa visits. And maybe to capitalise on opposition weaknesses; this article cites two; suspensions and sloppy goals. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25431858
Fortunately team news for the Mariners is pretty much constant at present - the main threats on the horizon is who is close to suspension, and hopefully illness and injury don't affect us in the coming weeks.
Tonight's opposition are branded a nursery for future league players by another BBC article, which rightly points out Steve Burr' track record in developing players, selling them, and improving his team each time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25418469
But it also gives the impression that they are letting a young player go, which the defeatist in me immediately thinks; 'he's not good enough' only to elaborate that they might let him go to the League, if the deal is right, i.e. for a nice big cheque. So he probably is. Wouldn't be too pleased if Paul Hurst's reaction to Dayle Southwell scoring goals was; 'well, he'll have to be sold' Each to their own. Another chance to moan at BBC journalism!
Oh, nearly forgot, I mentioned this the other day, but Kiddy have lost to Alfreton and Woking in their last two games.
Their squad; see the excellent Harriers Online website; I've borrowed this, Harriers from:
Lewis, N Vaughan, L Vaughan, Grimes, Dunkley, Demetriou, Brown, Gowling, Tolley, Storer, Fowler, Jackman, Lolley, Angus, Dance, Johnson, Malbon, Gash, Blissett.

And last of all today, randomly here's a cute clip, albeit in Dutch, courtesy of Ajax doing their best for customer relations and helping brighten up a poorly kid's life; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqn2CUUgWPk
