National League basement side Kidderminster Harriers make their first ever trip to Boreham Wood on Sauturday in what could prove a pivotal match in the battle against relegation.

Wood will welcome the tie after seeing their trip to Southport called off last weekend. On the same day Kiddy lost 1-0 at Aldershot Town, their seventh consecutive defeat in the National League.

They have won just two games this season with their last success coming in November as they took maximum points in the reverse tie against the Shots, recording a 2-0 home win against the Hampshire side. A fortnight before that they beat Woking 1-0, also at home.

Harriers have drawn on eight occasions this season with one of those stalemates coming against Wood at Aggborough. It needed a spectacular 30-yard free-kick from Conor Clifford to level proceedings midway through the second half.

Like Wood, Harriers have struggled in front of goal and have scored one less goal (24) than Luke Garrard’s side who currently have double the number of points, yet still occupy a relegation spot.

Harriers recently appointed their third manager of this current campaign in Colin Gordon.

Gordon, a former striker at Swindon Town, Reading, Birmingham City and Leicester City, also presided over four games earlier in the season as caretaker.

That stint came between the sacking of Gary Whild and the appointment of former Leeds United and Forest Green Rovers boss Dave Hockaday.

Gordon has no other managerial experience and to date has overseen just two further games, both of which ended in 1-0 defeats.

Kidderminster have been part of the top tier of non-league football since gaining promotion to the Alliance Premier League in 1983.

They spent five seasons in the Football League, between 1999 and 2004, after winning promotion under former Liverpool star Jan Molby.

But low attendances at Aggborough and their location meant Kidderminster struggled to make any progress and slumped back into the Conference.

Harriers should have been promoted five seasons earlier but legislation owing to the Bradford City fire meant although their wooden stand was demolished and a new cantilever option was in place in time, they were made to wait for glory.

It was to be Molby who finally oversaw the rise to League Football with the money of retired millionaire Lionel Newton financing their success.

In 2007 Harriers took part in the first ever competitive club game at the new Wembley Stadium, losing 3-2 in the FA Trophy Final to Stevenage Borough in front of 53,262 fans.

After not winning for the opening ten matches of the 2012/13 Conference campaign they embarked upon an incredible run, winning 22 of their next 26 games, earning the accolade as the most in form team in Europe.

Sadly this season a similar feat may be necessary to ensure Harriers maintain their long association with the National League.

If Harriers beat Wood on Saturday it will be the first time they have won an away league match in over a year, a statistic that stretches back to January 20, 2015.
