Kidderminster Harriers rally to defeat Doncaster Rovers in FA Cup
Summary

Kidderminster Harriers secured a 3-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers in the FA Cup on November 9, 2026. Manager Paul Wotton attributed the turnaround to a morale-boosting curry dinner organized by chairman Richard Lane after a recent poor spell in the National League. This win marked only their second victory in ten matches, showcasing their ability to compete against higher-league opponents. Wotton emphasized that while pleased with the performance, the team must remain focused on upcoming fixtures, starting with a critical match against Halifax, set for Saturday.
