Kidderminster Harriers 2-4 Forest Green Rovers

Jon Parkin, 33, has netted 142 goals in all competitions in his 17 seasons with 13 different clubs

Forest Green avenged their Boxing Day home defeat by Kidderminster Harriers as they won the return at Aggborough.

Jon Parkin headed home Dale Bennett's right-wing cross before the visitors struck twice in little over a minute.

Kurtias Guthrie headed on for Clovis Kamdjo to net a left-foot shot before scoring himself from close range.

Three up at half-time. Parkin then added his second before Harriers struck twice in three minutes through a Craig Reid penalty and Marvin Johnson's shot.

Released by a neat flick from young substitute Jamie Spencer on his debut, Johnson cut in from the right to drill in a low drive - his eighth goal of the season.

Reid's penalty, after being fouled by Bennett, was Harriers' first spot-kick this season, but it was too little, too late as Gary Whild's side suffered a second successive home defeat over the festive period.

Forest Green Rovers Assistant Manager David Kevan told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

"It got a little bit hairy and credit to Kidderminster, they kept going, and made life really hard towards the end.

"It was only last week we were saying we haven't taken enough chances, so the chances are there, and if we can be more clinical and more ruthless we can build on this.

"David Pipe's been very ill and Sam Wedgbury now and Magno (Vieira), they've all gone down with this illness.

"To have Aaron (Racine) back has been a blessing. Last week, we were saying it might be too early for him but it didn't look to early for him today."
