A campaign that sparkled with promise and saw Keziah Martin and his Kidderminster teammates come within a whisker of pulling off the biggest FA Cup shock for years ultimately ended in heartbreak, as their main aim of promotion slipped away in their Play-Off Eliminator at Aggborough Stadium.
In a cruel twist of fate, it was Alex Penny, the man who scored in February’s clash with Premier League West Ham, who put through his own net with 14 minutes remaining for what proved the winner as Boston United left Aggborough with a 2-1 victory.
The next few days and weeks, however, will sting. This was a night Kidderminster were ultimately not good enough and Boston were deserved winners. Only when Ashley Hemmings fired the host's level, canceling out Danny Elliott’s opener midway through the second half, did the hosts really spark.
