We’ve Met Before

The most recent meeting between Kiddy and The Heed came in February 2024, with Gateshead claiming a 2-0 victory on an icy cold February evening in Worcestershire.

Rob Elliot’s Heed side moved into the play-off places following the victory, against a struggling Kidderminster side. Callum Whelan swept home from close range to give The Heed a 1-0 lead going into half-time, following up after Christian Dibble kept out Marcus Dinanga’s effort. Mamadou Jobe sealed the victory on the hour mark, making it 2-0 with a header from a corner.
