OH, to have been a fly on the dressing room wall after this Harriers horror show.

That's just what it was for manager Mark Yates and the Aggborough faithful.

Harriers were three goals up in 32 minutes but had been pegged back to 3-3 before the hour.

They also led 4-3 and finally looked to have weathered the storm and avoided the embarrassment of defeat to lower-graded opposition in this enthralling FA Trophy first round clash.

But Vauxhall Motors, 11th in Nationwide North, had one more shock in store as they secured a more than deserved replay in the 94th minute.

How Harriers managed to throw away such a commanding lead and then need a trip to Ellesmere Port tomorrow night is a question many will be asking.

Ultimately, it came down to poor defending from Harriers and a Vauxhall side not in the least bit overawed at playing in front of a crowd almost four times their highest league gate this season.

Carl Macauley's visitors were more than a match for the hosts and it came as a surprise to find them 3-0 down in such a short space of time.

Although defensive errors played a part, Harriers stormed into the lead with some attractive, incisive football that was simply too hot for Vauxhall to handle.

On-loan striker James Constable scored the first on 19 minutes when he had time and space to slot home after Simon Russell had played the ball across goal.

Four minutes later Russell gathered the ball in his stride outside the penalty area, cut between two defenders and shimmied round the 'keeper to make it 2-0.

The third, on 32 minutes, was the pick of the bunch. Iyseden Christie was the beneficiary of some superb build-up play which saw Michael Blackwood receive a pass from Rob Davies and send over a first-time cross for the on-loan Rochdale forward to control and convert.

Job done. Or at least it should have been.

Motors, with just a handful of travelling fans, refused to let their heads drop and proceeded to play as they had done before shipping three in 13 minutes.

Three minutes before the break, Lee Furlong powerfully headed John Lawless' right-wing cross past Scott Bevan in the Kidderminster goal.

Poor defending let the visitors in for a second seven minutes into the second-half as Tom Field struck a sweet volley into the top corner.

Vauxhall, growing in confidence, completed a remarkable comeback four minutes later when Joe McMahon climbed to nod Brian Moogan's free-kick over Bevan.

Understandably, the vast majority of the 984 crowd, the lowest at Aggborough this season, were getting frustrated.

Harriers, though, picked themselves up, started to show their first-half form and got a fourth on 74 minutes when Russell Penn played in Luke Reynolds and the substitute lashed the ball in off the underside of the bar.

However, Vauxhall continued to threaten although their resistance appeared to have ended as the game entered the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Gavin Hurren then sliced behind for a corner and from the resulting flag-kick, Furlong produced a fine low right-footed drive to send the visiting bench into raptures.

That fly on the wall must have been dodging tea cups after this one.

Harriers: Bevan, Kenna, Harkness, Hurren, Creighton, Blackwood, Russell, Penn, Christie (Reynolds 46), Davies (Sedgemore 45), Constable. Subs not used: White, Taylor, Smikle.
