West Ham midfielder Declan Rice admits Kidderminster pushed them all the way after their extra-time FA Cup win.
A buoyant atmosphere at Aggborough Stadium greeted both sets of players, with the Hammers and the Harriers meeting for just the second time in both clubs' history.
The occasion yielded an FA Cup fourth-round epic with Rice admitting that, whilst his side played beneath their usual level, securing passage to the FA Cup fifth round was the main goal.
"When you play in games like this, you always know what it's going to be like," he told whufc.com.
“The fans are on top of you and they're going to be really up for it. They will fight for every ball and give a hundred per cent. It can be a shock to the system.
“We don't come to places like this very often. We knew what to expect, but it's really hard to get to grips with the game at the start. I think any player would tell you that.
“As the game started to settle, we started to move the ball around a little bit more, but they were in a great shape, pressed hard and made some great substitutions.
“We're through to the next round so that's the most important thing."
