Warndon Rhinos 0 V 1 Kidderminster Athletic

Warndon Rhinos suffered defeat against Kidderminster Athletic in the opening round of the Stourport Youth Cup. Both teams created opportunities in the first half but solid defending from both sides meant neither team could be separated. Charlie Roberts and Will Barnes went close on a couple of occasions but the Kidderminster keeper matched their efforts with some fine saves. Harry Ewins, Alex Maund and Sean Dayus denied Kidderminster Athletic in the first half, but minutes into the second half Kidderminster Athletic scored with a low drive from the edge of the box. The Rhinos looked for an equaliser and  Harvey was unfortunate with a shot from outside the penalty area. Daniel Payne almost levelled the scores in the final minutes of the game but his right footed volley went into the side netting.
 
Man of the Match: Daniel Payne
Playing in an unfamiliar right midfield position, Daniels’ work ethic and positional play was very impressive.
