JULIE Freeman's hat-trick helped keep honours even for Harriers Ladies in a 5-5 draw with Headless Cross.

Cross' A Elliott scored all her team's goals and put the Redditch side ahead on four minutes.

Freeman equalised quickly from long range but a corner soon after allowed Cross ahead again.

Harriers conjured up another equaliser through Emma Bowdler but their opponents were ahead by half-time.

Kidderminster replied through Freeman's header from a Vicky Roberts corner but Cross produced two more goals.

However, Roberts set up Freeman for a header and Sam Rogers grabbed the final leveller.

Only fine saves from keeper Rachel Baldwin in the last 10 minutes kept the scores equal.

Fixture, Sunday: Hereford v Harriers (players meet 11.45am at Aggborough).
