Harriers had a busy time coping with Lincoln's aerial bombardment but in the end conceded a goal which certainly was not of a direct nature.

Lincoln's Bradley fired over the top of the goal on seven minutes but opened the scoring on the quarter-hour mark with his first goal for the club since signing from Chesterfield.

He fired the loose ball into the net after Digby had pushed away an angled drive from Cornelly following the youngster's inspired run at the Harriers defence.

There was a worry for the visitors soon after when Scott left the field seemingly with a shoulder injury but he returned within minutes.

Williams posted Harriers first serious shot on goal with a clever chip on 27 minutes though it did not catch out keeper Marriott who saved wquite comfortably from under his bar.

On 36 minutes a useful move from Harriers saw Parrish swap passes with Scott but he rifled his shot well over from the edge of the area.

Harriers could have bee 2-0 own at the break but Hinton was in the right place to clear off the line on 42 minutes when Futcher headed Mayo's free-kick goalwards with keeper Digby completely missing his punch.
