KIDDERMINSTER Harriers Ladies got back to winning ways when they beat Stratford 4-2.

Julie Freeman notched her third hat-trick in as many games.

Louise Holmes scored the second three minutes into the second half when she drove home a low shot from 12 yards out.

Stratford replied from a corner in the 65th minute and equalised five minutes later after a goal-mouth scramble.

But Paula Brabbing set up Freeman for her second goal with a long ball over the top.

And she completed her hat-trick in the 89th minute, heading home a corner.
