Despite not having played a competitive game since Boxing Day the Terras returned from the Midlands with three Blue Square Premier League points and it was no more than they deserved.

New signing Lee Phillips, who showed he had lost none of the flair that made him a Wessex favourite in his previous stay, made his debut for Alan Lewer’s men and formed a formidable partnership up front with Beavon.

Jordan Collins and Stephen Reed failed late fitness tests for the visitors, although the latter was named as a substitute and coach Marcus Browning made his much delayed return to action with a late cameo appearance from the bench.

Kidderminster had two chances within the opening four minutes.

Martin Brittain found room on the right only for his cross to fly harmlessly across goal and then Russell Penn shot weakly at Terras’ keeper Danny Knowles.

With the wind at their backs Wey-mouth launched a series of forays at the home goal with James Coutts shooting wide after he had collected a flick on by Phillips.

Kevin Sandwith saw his free-kick deflected for a corner by Mark Creighton, Scott Doe headed narrowly past an upright after a superb run by Ryan Williams and Anton Robinson headed over after Williams had ran behind the home defence and crossed into the penalty area.

Beavon gave the Harriers an indication of what he could do as he made ground for himself before directing his effort just past a post in the 20th minute before Weymouth put together their best move of the half.

Cameron Mawer put Williams away on the left and the Terras’ man hit his cross low and hard across the penalty area. Phillips and Beavon both stepped over the ball before it reached Coutts, whose first touch was just a bit too heavy allowing home keeper Adam Bartlett to grab the ball.

At the other end Doe produced a superb challenge to halt Brian Smikle’s run after Stefan Moore had helped on Bartlett’s long clearance.

Williams saw a shot fly narrowly over the crossbar after Phillips had beaten Creighton to Sandwith’s free-kick before Beavon opened the scoring after 43 minutes.

Lee Baker failed to clear a cross into the area allowing the former Didcot striker to control the ball and cut in from the right before drilling across Bartlett and into the net from ten yards out.

Coutts almost added a second in stoppage time when he collected a pass from Sandwith before blasting his effort inches past an upright from 35 yards.

With the wind now behind them it was expected that the home side would come at the Terras after the break, but they seemed to be content with hitting long, hopeful balls down the park and allowing their front men to chase them down.

Although Weymouth had to be aware they still looked dangerous on the counter-attack.

With Kidderminster taking time to settle the opening opportunities fell to the visitors as Robinson outjumped Baker to provide Beavon with a shooting chance, which flew wide of the target.

In the 52nd minute Phillips beat two home defenders to reach Sandwith’s corner and head goalwards, but then looked on in agony as the ball rolled inches wide of a post.

A minute later Smikle created space for Justin Richards who shot for Kidderminster’s first real effort on target, which was held by Knowles.

Collecting the Weymouth keeper’s clearance Williams beat a defender before running across the face of the penalty area only to be chopped down by Andy Ferrell.

Sandwith stepped up to take the resulting free-kick which he curled round the wall only to see it rebound from the right-hand upright with Bartlett nowhere to be seen.

In the 55th minute Weymouth deservedly doubled their advantage with a goal of real quality.

Williams put Beavon clear on the left hand edge of the area, the Terras frontman cut across the box before turning and firing a terrific strike with the outside of his right boot which left Bartlett helpless.

This set back finally stung the Harriers into action and Knowles was called upon to pull of a terrific one-handed save from a 35-yard effort by Richards before Brittain scooped a loose ball into the visiting keeper’s hands from six-yards.

Keith Lowe headed narrowly wide from Brittain’s corner before Knowles was again called into action when Santos Gaia deflected a cross from David McDermott goalwards.

When the Terras failed to clear a shot from Matthew Barnes-Homer, in the 81st minute, it seemed that Kidderminster must pull a goal back as Richard’s powered an effort goalwards, however, Knowles was on hand again to tip the ball over the crossbar.

As the match drew to a close it was Weymouth who looked more likely to add to their tally as Chris McPhee saw Bartlett thwart him twice.

At the final whistle – as the players and around 100 travelling fans celebrated a Weymouth performance that was, in my opinion, the best this season – the joy was tempered by the sight of Pierre Joseph-Dubois being carried from the field with what appeared to be an ankle injury.
