James Constable's 19th goal of the season secured Eastleigh a place in the Conference play-offs

Eastleigh sealed a Conference play-off spot in their first season in the division by beating Kidderminster.

The visitors took the lead in the first minute of the game when Danny Wright fired in from 25 yards out.

Craig Stanley slotted home from Jai Reason's left-wing cross to draw the Spitfires level after the break.

James Constable missed two chances to put Eastleigh ahead, but he made amends by tapping in after Will Evans's powerful effort rebounded off the post.

Eastleigh will now play Grimsby in the play-off semi-finals.

Spitfires manager Richard Hill told BBC Radio Solent:

Hill on Eastleigh v Kidderminster

"It feels good, we've been hanging on in there all season.

"It's my job now to make sure the players don't think the job's done. We need to go and try to win the two legs."

Hill on the Grimsby game: "It's a tough one for us. They've beaten us twice already this season but we're there on merit and we've done it our way."
