Barnet v Kidderminster Harriers, 09 September 2000

The clubs' first meeting outside of the non-League arena got off to a frantic start as they both aimed to improve on a good start to 2000-01. As the game wore on, the pace dropped and solid defences ensured that the honours were shared. Darren Currie was the Bees' Man of the Match as he caused a constant threat. Often linking with Ken Charlery and John Doolan to open up gaps, he also engineered a late winner. His delightful chip from the left was just too high for Tony Richards at the far post. Kidderminster keeper Stuart Brock played despite a broken bone in his hand, and his only severe test was a 30 yard Doolan volley on the hour. Stewart Hadley played as a lone striker for the Harriers with two or three midfielders offering excellent support. The former Mansfield forward spurned the visitors best chance when his right foot volley was steered wide.
