Calum McIntyre’s men earned a memorable victory on the road at Kidderminster Harriers to secure a place in the play-off final Kyle Morrison scored the opening goal for the hosts as he bundled home from a well-delivered corner The Blues grabbed a deserved equaliser through Dylan Mottley-Henry before Declan Weeks secured the win with a crisp half-volley that defied Christian Dibble in the home goal as both sides struggled to flow in the windy conditions but Nathan Woodthorpe almost forced a chance when he combined with Declan Weeks from a free-kick but Kurt Willoughby couldn’t connect with the cross The hosts took the lead in the 18th minute through central defender Kyle Morrison who bundled past Jimmy Storer at the back post after a well-delivered corner from David Worrall Chester settled after the opener though and started to wrestle back control of the contest Successive corners spelt danger on Dibble’s goal but the home defence dealt with the aerial threat well in the first-half The pressure paid off for the Seals though as Dylan Mottley-Henry equalised from close-range Connor Woods curled a dangerous effort towards goal that Dibble could only palm into the path of Mottley-Henry who was left with a simple finish Kidderminster almost regained the lead in the dying embers of the half after a fantastic move but Max Kouyhar drilled his low effort wide from around 12 yards Kurt Willoughby also has his first opportunity of the clash in additional time but his powerful strike flew just wide of the post The Seals flew out of the blocks in the second period and almost took the lead in sensational fashion as Iwan Murray smashed an effort towards goal from 25 yards out that dipped and forced Dibble into an acrobatic save Murray was involved once again just a few minutes later as he earned a golden opportunity The 24-year-old was tripped inside the box by Morrison and Jonathan Maskrey pointed to the spot Willoughby stepped up from 12 yards and struck with power but Dibble got down well and pushed to safety to preserve Kidderminster’s parity The Harriers’ top scorer Ashley Hemmings came close with the hosts’ first chance of the second period but his shot flew wide in comfortable fashion Dan Mooney created a positive impact after he was introduced in the 70th minute as the number 29 stretched the home defence and threatened Dibble on a number of occasions with his pace in behind the back line a moment that sent 1,300 travelling Seals into absolute bedlam behind the goal who arrowed a well-struck half-volley into the bottom corner A brilliant strike that gave Dibble no chance and put the Blues within touching distance of the play-off final are a community benefit society operating under the name of Chester Football Club and are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority The club is fan owned and does not have any major shareholders Chester are through to face Scunthorpe United after they won at Kidderminster The Seals progress and are within 90 minutes of ending their National League exile after Declan Weeks returned to haunt the Harriers Scoring the winner against his old club eight minutes from time Chester completed the turn around after trailing to Kyle Morrison’s goal Calum McIntyre’s team drew level through Dylan Mottley-Henry - and then went on to win it sending the away supporters into pandemonium There was delight for the first time this season for the travelling fans at Eastbourne Borough That’s because Maidstone United did what nobody else has and won at Priory Lane - and they did it in dramatic fashion Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong struck just before half time Alfie Pavey made it 1-1 with a good finish before the visitors went down to ten men when Charlie Seaman was red carded But there was a huge twist when Aaron Blair grabbed a 90th minute winner to set up a final with Boreham Wood Pitch Hero Ltd Registered in ENGLAND | WF3 1DR | Company Number - 636 1033 We are now accepting applications for the NYS Trooper Entrance Exam!

Kidderminster Harriers were found wanting at the finish Eight days after letting slip the National League North title on the final day their promotion hopes and season were ended for good by a play-off semi-final defeat to Chester Former Harrier Declan Weeks fired in the winner eight minutes from time to settle a frenetic and tight contest at a sold-out Aggborough in favour of the visitors Harriers were left wondering what might have been They led early through Kyle Morrison’s goal only to be pegged back by Dylan Mottley-Henry’s equaliser Goalkeeper Christian Dibble then prevented Chester from taking the lead when he saved Kyle Willoughby’s penalty it was the visitors who asked more questions and through Weeks they got the winner to set up a final at Scunthorpe on May 18 the next fortnight will only be a time for bitter reflection which saw them drop from first to third in the standings The play-offs offered a second chance to secure an immediate return to the National League Premier but they were unable to take it Other than picking Morrison’s 18th minute opener out of the net visiting goalkeeper Jimmy Storer was rarely troubled though it was Harriers who were delivering most of the former urged on by the bulk of the capacity crowd Reece Devine on the left wing was getting through plenty of hard work and it was his bustling run which led to the corner from which Harriers took the lead David Worrall whipped in the delivery and Morrison arrived to meet it at the far post Chester were struggling to get into the game and it was only on the half-hour mark they finally began putting some sustained pressure on the hosts Connor Woods shot from distance and Dibble could only parry as it dipped toward goal Mottley-Henry turning the rebound into the empty net That made both goals simple conversions but otherwise chances were thin on the ground fine work from Zak Brown created one but Maz Kouhyar could only stab his pull back wide of the post It was the visitors on the front foot at the start of the second half the diminutive Murray finding space and unleashing a shot from 25 yards out which Dibble tipped over the bar Murray was becoming an increasing menace and eight minutes after the restart won the penalty when he was caught by Morrison Willoughby stepped up but Dibble guessed correctly diving to his right to parry the spot-kick away If there had been any murmurings about the keeper’s culpability for the equaliser Hemmings lashed a powerful shot wide from distance at the other end but clear cut chances were again at a premium Chester sent on Dan Mooney up front and twice in a minute he nearly got in behind On the first occasion Dibble was quick off his line to clear the second relieved to see the forward flick the ball past him but wide of the post A rare slick move then saw Worrall chip in a cross for Kouhyar but the latter’s header looped wide A cross was cleared only as far as Weeks and from the right-hand side of the box he fired a precise shot beyond Dibble’s dive and just inside the far post Yet Harriers could not fashion a single chance to level Instead it was Dibble who prevented Mooney from putting things beyond doubt when he denied him one-on-one at the death Government is looking for someone to take on the former Covid vaccination hub on Chester Street in Douglas The site is still known to many as 'the old Safeway' having once been home to the supermarket chain Manx Care had to urgently relocate its vaccination operations from there last year because of its suitability to deliver a clinical service It had previously cited difficulties heating the building and a lack of staff facilities among its issues Now, government is advertising the site with Chapman Chartered Surveyors The brochure for the property says it would be possible to create additional pedestrian access openings directly onto Market Street It's also said to have potential for a variety of uses It's asking for proposals to lease the whole or part of the property for a term of years to be agreed To rent the ground floor retail space alone would cost £204,830 a year To lease the storage unit would be an extra £40,488 on top of that while it will cost £36,810 per annum for the café and £5,245 for the staff facilities on the first floor To rent the whole site will cost £287,373 a year The advert also quotes a report from CACI in 2023 that claimed with a GDP of £5.4 billion the Isle of Man boasts a robust and resilient economy It adds competitive wages indicate the high disposable income enjoyed by residents with 86 percent saying they have an excellent quality of life The Blues travel to Aggborough on Sunday afternoon with a chance to build on Wednesday’s dramatic Eliminator success over Buxton and reach the National League North play-off final The midweek win saw Iwan Murray open the scoring before a close-range finish from Tommy Elliott forced the contest into extra-time Harrison Burke found the answer for the Seals though as he struck a powerful half-volley into the corner of the net in the 108th minute to claim victory Calum McIntyre’s men will be backed by a sold out away end in Worcestershire on Sunday after 1,300 Seals secured their tickets in less than an hour for the clash Kidderminster saw an opportunity to lift the title slip through their grasp on the final day of the regular season when they were defeated at Southport Phil Brown’s side were on a fantastic run of 13 outings without defeat before they travelled to Haig Avenue but goals either side of half-time courtesy of Tom Moore and Danny Philliskirk were enough for all three points This allowed Brackley Town to move into top spot thanks to a comfortable success over Farsley Celtic whilst Scunthorpe United also rose above the Harriers with a win over Hereford Our two meetings with the Carpetmen this season have both been tight encounters that have culminated in 1-1 draws The away trip saw a late penalty from Charlie Caton earn us a point before Burke’s scoring form continued in the home tie as he grabbed the opening goal in the sixth minute Ex-Premier League boss Phil Brown has been the man tasked with an immediate return to the National League The 65-year-old was appointed in January 2024 but failed to save the club from relegation to the sixth tier as they finished seven points adrift from safety Brown’s most notable stint came at Hull City between 2006-2010 a stretch which saw the Tigers earn promotion to the top flight of English football for the first time This came after a memorable play-off victory over Bristol City at Wembley netted the sole goal with a spectacular volleyed effort as well as a stint in India which saw him manage Pune City and Hyderabad FC Ashley Hemmings has been a dangerous weapon for the Worcestershire-based outfit all campaign and sits top of the National League North scoring charts Hemmings has bagged 30 goals throughout the campaign with one coming against the Blues in the 1-1 draw at the Deva Stadium Kidderminster’s brilliant end-of-season form coincided with Hemming’s best period of the campaign in March and April The 34-year-old netted hat-tricks in the wins over South Shields and also scored crucial goals in the wins over Brackley Town and Rushall Olympic Hemmings has been at Aggborough for almost six years since he made the switch from AFC Fylde in October 2019 following a long career that has seen him feature for a plethora of clubs including Dagenham & Redbridge Kidderminster Harriers | W27 D8 L11 | F86 A37 | Pos 3rd

the National League North Promotion Final on Sunday Our visitors come into the game cock-a-hoop after an outstanding Eliminator win in midweek Netting early against Buxton on Wednesday night they were pegged back by the Bucks and the game was sent into extra time At that stage the Seals had too much for the visitors to handle and they powered through thanks to Harrison Burke’s strike That 2-1 victory sealed their place in Sunday’s semi in to which they will come on the back of just one defeat in ten games That set-back was against Scunthorpe in March – the Iron will await the visitors of

for Charlie Caton’s penalty to level matters and ensured things ended all square It was the reverse in the return game; February’s meeting at the Deva seeing Burke put the hosts in front with a sixth-minute header before Ashley Hemmings equalised the previous nine clashes between Harriers and this incarnation of Chester have seen the Reds narrowly edge the head-to-head with goals a regular
