VAUXHALL’S hopes of further FA Cup glory and a place in the first round were dashed at the Aggborough Stadium.

The injury-hit Motormen took the lead on 31 minutes – just seconds after home keeper MacKenzie made a smart save to deny the lively Taylor.

Roberts beat the offside calls and burst through down the left hand side before picking his spot to perfection from just inside the area.

Harriers upped the tempo and just six minutes into the second period, they drew level.

On 75 minutes, Kidderminster eased in front when Richards scored a header.

With minutes left on the clock, McGrath got his reward to clinch a place in the first round draw four minutes from time.
