Ten-men Harriers still await first victory
Ten-man Kidderminster Harriers are still searching for their first National League win of the season after tumbling to defeat at home to high-flying Wrexham.
The Dragons sealed a well-earned win with smartly-taken goals from Manny Smith, Sean Newton and substitute Adam Smith.
Harriers, who had front-runner Reece Styche sent off shortly after half-time, scored a consolation goal through substitute Andre Wright.
Kidderminster: Snedker; Hodgkiss (Reid 90), Tunnicliffe, Rowe-Turner, Fox; Campbell (Singh 56), Clarke, Maxwell, Verma (Wright 73), Styche, Dawson.
Subs not used: Palmer, Singh, Green.
Referee: Adrian Holmes.
Kidderminster, who paraded new on-loan signing Andrew Fox at left-back, soon had to be on their guard in defence.
They were given a taste of what to expect from the Dragons when James Gray went close on a couple of occasions in the early stages.
Wrexham, roared on by more than 1,000 travelling fans, went ahead in the 21st minute when Smith rose above the Aggborough rear-guard to head home a free kick from Newton.
Harriers, who have now lost their last three games, were reduced to ten men in the 51st minute when Styche was sent off for picking up a second yellow card.
Wrexham, who have now won three of their opening four matches, stretched their lead four minutes later when Newton netted with a perfectly-placed free-kick.
Battling Harriers pulled a goal back on 80 minutes when Wright headed in a free-kick from Adam Dawson, but Wrexham added a third when substitute Smith lobbed the ball into the net in stoppage time.
