The first encounter with Kidderminster Harriers came in the FA Trophy third round in February 1986.

SOUTHPORT 1 – 1 KIDDERMINSTER HARRIERS
Stadium: Haig Avenue
Competition: FA Trophy / 3
Date: 08/02/1986

Arriving at Haig Avenue on the back of an 18 game unbeaten run Gola League Kidderminster were the obvious favourites for the tie and Southport had to rely on a twice taken penalty by Peter King goal to earn a replay at Aggborough.
