A WARNING over future conduct has been handed to Kidderminster Harriers for an on-pitch bust-up at Leyton Orient back in March.

The FA Disciplinary Commission felt Harriers had failed to control their players in an incident which saw Dean Keates and Orient's David Hunt sent off.

A panel meeting found Harriers guilty, fining them £500 as well as a warning for next season over their players' behaviour.

The game at Brisbane Road, which ended 1-1, also saw Harriers fined £1,000 due to five yellow cards and the one red from referee Steve Tanner.

But the latest punishment comes for a melee sparked by Mark Yates' collision with Orient keeper Glenn Morris which saw the former skipper booked.

Harriers were generally one of the better disciplined teams in the division with only Scott Stamps (10) and Wayne Hatswell (nine) getting anywhere near to double figures on the yellow card scale.

Reds were also dished out to Adam Willis for a professional foul, Stamps and Abdou Sall for two yellows and loan signing Ian Foster for violent conduct.

However, director of football Jan Molby is destined to spend Harriers' first two competitive games of the new season in the stands.

Molby will be completing a four-match touchline ban for comments made to an official at Southend.
