Recap: King’s Lynn 4-0 Harriers

---

HARRIERS endured a challenging night at King’s Lynn in going down to a heavy 4-0 defeat at The Walks in National League North.

The visitors had actually begun the more brightly of the two sides and went close when Ashley Hemmings slammed an effort over the bar with eight minutes gone.

At that point, however, the home side began to apply pressure and never really looked back. After one header was cleared off the line on 20 minutes, Lynn opened the scoring when Jonny Margetts connected at a corner with a flick header that squeezed through the defence and into the net.

Nine minutes later Harriers had a superb chance to level. Maliq Cadogan took aim from distance and caught home goalkeeper Patrick Boyes in superb form as he reacted to push it away, straight  into the path of Amari Morgan-Smith whose attempted follow up was also smartly blocked.

Ryley Reynolds then struck off target for Harriers but, once Josh McCammon struck home from close range to double the hosts advantage, it looked an uphill task.

Harriers again were bright at the start of the second half but fell three goals behind to arguably the move of the night; Lynn winning the ball and pouring forward with Finlay Barnes eventually sliding the ball beyond Christian Dibble.

Matters then went from bad to worse for Phil Brown’s men when Kam Kandola was shown a second yellow card to equal a red, Lynn rounding off the scoring six minutes after that when a ball into the area was nodded down for Margetts to slam home.

In the final moments, Noah Rubio had a rare second half sight of goal for the visitors but fired over the target in his quest to reduce the arrears.
