BBC match report –

A hat-trick from Bo Henriksen (photo) helped Kidderminster Harriers to an emphatic victory over Exeter City at St James Park.

Ian Britton's side had started in the worst possible fashion, Sean Devine finding the net for the hosts in the third minute, but they soon levelled when Henriksen tapped home John Melligan's cross.

Kidderminster took the lead seven minutes before the break when Adrian Whitbread sliced Dean Bennett's cross into his own goal.

And in injury-time Henrikssen made it 3-1 from the penalty spot following a wild lunge by Andy Roscoe on Bennett.

James Coppinger gave Exeter some hope 90 seconds after the restart with a close-range strike but two goals in the space of a minute sealed the points for the visitors.

Henrikssen claimed a hat-trick with a powerful strike from 12 yards before Drewe Broughton completed the rout with a glancing header.

Exeter's Glenn Cronin was dismissed for a second bookable offence in the final minute.

Exeter: Miller, Hiley, Roscoe, Whitbread, Gaia, Sheldon, Pettefer, Walker, Cronin, Flack, Devine. Subs: Fraser, Thomas, Coppinger, Goodman, Todd.

Kidderminster: Digby, Smith, Scott, Hinton, Bennett, Shilton, Williams, Flynn, Melligan, Henriksen, Broughton. Subs: Brock, Parrish, Foster, Ayres, Bishop.
