Aldershot kept themselves in the top six of the National League with a hard-fought 1-0 win over bottom club Kidderminster at the EEB Stadium.
Cian Harris sent a long ball forward, Laurent Tullage crossed it and Josh Stokes curled his shot into the bottom corner.
Kidderminster threatened early in the second half when Amari Morgan-Smith set up Ben Tollett, but the midfielder’s shot was wide.
With 20 minutes to go, Harriers captain Christian Pearce fired a shot over the bar from close range after a long throw into the box and Morgan Smith saw a late header deflect wide as Aldershot preserved the win.
