Solihull Moors secured a key 2-1 victory over Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday to build momentum in their fight against relegation. The win, their second in a row, lifts them off the foot of the National League table and onto 10 points from 15 games, a record of three wins, one draw and eleven defeats. They have scored 17 goals this season but conceded 39, leaving them with a goal difference of negative 22.
Kidderminster took a shock lead after just three minutes through Walker. Solihull Moors responded quickly, with Wodskou equalising three minutes later. The decisive goal came four minutes before half-time, a Kidderminster own goal credited to Crompton that put the Moors ahead for good.
League context
The three points are a significant boost for a side that had been rooted to the bottom. The victory moves Solihull Moors up to 23rd, though they remain 31 points behind leaders Boreham Wood. Their recent form shows improvement, with three wins and two losses in their last five matches, putting them on a two-game winning run. This sequence includes the 2-1 win over Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday 31 October and a 3-2 comeback at Wealdstone on Tuesday 27 October, where goals from M. Johnson, J. Andrews and S. High secured the points.
The hosts managed the second half effectively, with Kidderminster's only notable chance resulting in a yellow card for D. Davis in stoppage time. Solihull Moors also picked up three bookings in a competitive encounter.
What's next
The challenge now is to sustain this form. Solihull Moors travel to face 12th-placed Sutton United on Saturday 14 November. That match at the VBS Community Stadium is their next opportunity to close the gap on the teams above them. The full fixtures list shows a busy period ahead.
