THREE terrible blunders by Kidderminster Harriers goalkeeper Stuart Brock helped present promotion-chasing Luton Town with a 4-1 Nationwide League Division Three victory at Aggborough last night.

Brock had a nightmare five-minute spell shortly after half-time during which The Hatters turned a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 lead.

Luton added another later to complete a shattering second half for shell-shocked Harriers.

Brock's misery began in the 53rd minute when Matthew Taylor's cross hit his knee and went through his legs into the net.

Two minutes later Brock found himself in no man's land when he was caught out by a 30-yard effort from Matthew Spring.

The hapless 'keeper then spilled a shot to enable Steve Howard to score.

It was a staggering triple blow for Kidderminster who had taken the lead in the 50th minute when Danny Williams notched his first goal for the club by scoring at the second attempt after his free-kick rebounded off Luton's defensive 'wall', his shot going in off the post.

Once Brock had completed his trio of mistakes, however, it was left to Spring to complete the scoring by taking advantage of more poor defending.

The first half, however, had been a completely different story and Luton could have had no complaints if Jan Molby's play-off hopefuls had taken the lead.

Scott Stamps had an early shot rebound off the bar and the lively Richie Appleby twice went close before he had to be substituted because of hamstring trouble.

Bo Henriksen, who regularly looked dangerous despite suffering from 'flu during the previous two days, also went close when he had an excellent shot well saved by 'keeper Mark Ovendale.

Further close efforts were provided by Mark Blake and Dean Bennett while Luton's best chance during the first half came from Howard whose header was well tipped over by Brock.
