KIDDERMINSTER Harriers will be on a revenge mission on Boxing Day when they entertain Rochdale in a Nationwide Lea-gue Division Three clash at Aggborough (1pm).

Harriers lost 2-0 at Spotland in September during a spell when Jan Molby's side were struggling to find a winning formula.

Since then the Aggborough outfit have steadily improved and are in striking distance of a place in the play-off zone which currently includes Rochdale, now managed by John Hollins after former boss Steve Parkin moved to Barnsley.

Molby said: "Rochdale have done particularly well and are up there in the league on merit because they are a good team.

"Probably losing their manager is not ideal when you are going as well as they are. He took the captain with him to Barnsley, but they still have some good players."

Meanwhile, Harriers' scheduled match at Halifax on Saturday was called off at lunchtime because of a frozen pitch. Molby said: "These things happen and we have to take it in our stride."
