KIDDERMINSTER Harriers must put thoughts of Wembley to the back of their mind in order to follow the long and winding play-off road tomorrow night.

Mark Yates' men have one foot in the FA Trophy final at the nation's new stadium following Saturday's 2-0 first leg triumph over Northwich Victoria at Aggborough.

Busy Harriers now need to pick up vital Conference points at title-chasers Oxford United tomorrow night (7.45) ahead of the weekend return match at the Vics.

Eleventh-placed Kidderminster ended a run of four straight league defeats by beating Halifax Town 1-0 last Tuesday and are 10 points off fifth-placed Exeter City with two games in hand.

Harriers assistant boss Neil Howarth said: "We're still looking at the play-offs. We're not out of those by a long stretch of the imagination yet.

"We're concentrating solely on Oxford now. We need to go there, put in a performance and get some sort of result."

Excluding long-term Achilles tendon injury victim Dean Sturridge, Harriers boasted a fully-fit squad for the Trophy semi-final.

Their serious pursuit of the play-offs is likely to prevent Yates from resting players and the extra game will come in handy for 11-goal striker Iyseden Christie as he returns from injury.

They will be hoping for another big performance from the versatile Gavin Hurren who fired Kidderminster ahead against the Vics, his fifth goal of the season, in an impressive midfield display.

Howarth added: "He's a big player for us at the moment. No matter what level you're playing at, be it the Premiership or the Conference, you still need to win your tackles and headers as well as being physically and mentally strong.

"Gavin seems to be showing all of those atttributes at this level at the moment."

Oxford, relegated from League Two last season and behind Dagenham and Redbridge in the race for top spot, suffered another reality check on Saturday when beaten 2-0 at home by Forest Green Rovers.

But the surprise defeat to Forest Green ended a four-match winning run. Top-scorer Rob Duffy has bagged 21 goals.
