FOUL-mouthed Kidderminster Harriers duo Michael Blackwood and Johnny Mullins received a dressing down from manager Mark Yates following their dismissals against York City.

Harriers achieved an im-pressive 2-2 draw at the play-off chasers, despite going down to 10 men when Blackwood was given his marching orders for verbally abusing referee Mo Matadar after a penalty was awarded to the home side.

In the tunnel after the final whistle, Mullins also saw red for swearing at the match official.

Blackwood and Mullins have both been handed automatic two-game FA bans and will miss Friday's trip to Canvey Island as well as the Easter Monday visit of Cambridge United.

Daryl Burgess, who was sent off in the goalless draw with Stevenage Borough, will also miss the game at Canvey as he serves the last match of his two-game ban.

Yates said: "The dismissals leave me two players short and Blackwood and Mullins were left in no uncertain terms about how I feel about them getting sent off."
