Four-some Linnets blow away Harriers

King’s Lynn Town 4 Kidderminster Harriers 0King’s Lynn Town claimed their biggest scalp of the season at The Walks as they inflicted the heaviest defeat on Phil Brown as Kidderminster Harriers manager.Striker Jonny Margetts led the rout with a brace while both Finlay Barnes and Josh McCammon capped fine individual displays with a goal each.Kidderminster began the evening second in the National League North standings with Lynn in sixth – by the end of the night Lynn were joint-second alongside Scunthorpe and Curzon Ashton and Harriers had dropped down to fifth.Lynn were simply brilliant from start to finish with Barnes playing an instrumental role in Harriers’ demise.Linnets boss Adam Lakeland shuffled his pack once again by making three changes to the team that started Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Southport.Dylan Crowe, Freddie Sass and Finlay Barnes all returned to the fold with the trio of Josh Coulson, Tommy Hughes and Ross Crane all dropping to the bench. Striker Gold Omotayo’s ankle injury ruled him out of an appearance against his former club. Early claims for a home penalty were turned down after a long throw from Freddie Sass took the visitors by surprise and appeared to strike a visiting defender’s hand.The busy Barnes created a pocket of space in the Kidderminster box early in the proceedings but saw his shot blocked.Barnes was pulled from pillar to post in the opening quarter of the game and, after winning yet another free-kick, Josh Hmami’s deep delivery was palmed away by Christian Dibble. A few minutes of home pressure followed as Kyle Callan McFadden saw his header cleared off the line.It was the home side who deservedly took the lead midway through the half as Hmami delivered a corner from the left and the alert Margetts glanced home the faintest of headers. Goalkeeper Pat Boyes pulled off a stunning double save 15 minutes before the break to deny Amari Morgan-Smith and keep his side’s lead intact.Harriers were starting to look dangerous but two minutes before half-time a clever header from Margetts allowed Freddie Sass to deliver a cross for McCammon to stab home a second for the hosts. Both sides traded punches at the start of the second half but it was Lynn who delivered the knockout blow nine minutes after the restart.McCammon won the ball on the touchline and Hmami picked it up and glided past a couple of challenges before threading a delightful ball through for Barnes to fire the ball past Dibble.The visitors were reduced to 10 men four minutes later after Kam Kandola picked up his second yellow card of the evening.If the evening hadn’t been bad enough for Harriers, it got even worse after 63 minutes when McCammon’s centre was nodded down by Tom Wilson into the path of Margetts for his second goal of the evening.King’s Lynn Town: Boyes, Crowe (Crane 84), McFadden, Wilson, Sass (Coulson 60), Taylor, Johnson, Hmami (Hughes 70), McCammon, Barnes (Williams 84), Margetts (Walker 90).
