Kidderminster hold Woking on National League return

05 August 2023

Kidderminster earned a point at home to Woking in their first Vanarama National League match since 2016.

Harriers won promotion last season in remarkable fashion following a run of nine successive wins and they marked their return to the higher level with a creditable goalless draw against a Woking side that finished fourth last term.

The best chances of the first half at Aggborough came towards the end of the period, with Rhys Browne firing just wide for the visitors before Woking goalkeeper Will Jaaskelainen denied Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain with a fine save.

Jaaskelainen also did well on the hour mark as Harriers threatened again and, after Woking had gone close through Robbie Willmott and Scott Cuthbert, the promoted side almost snatched victory when Ashley Hemmings saw his stoppage-time effort hit the bar.
