SECURING a place in the Worcestershire Senior Cup final is the aim for Worcester City when they take on Kidderminster Harriers at St George's Lane tonight (7.45).
With City sitting 10th in Blue Square North, the county cup provides them with a chance to end the season on a high with some silverware.
Boss Richard Dryden, whose side fought back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 against Tamworth on Saturday, intends to name a strong side for the semi-final against their Blue Square Premier opponents.

"We are looking forward to it," he said. "It's a nice break from the league.
"I have spoken to Mark Yates up at Kiddy and we are going to put a good side out. There's not a lot to play for apart from pride now so we are going to have a go.
"Kidderminster have a lot of league games to catch up on as well so I'm not sure what side they are going to bring down but we will try to win the game.
"It's a good game, a local derby, and it will be good for the fans to come down and watch."
City will definitely be without Jon Munday because the central defender is on loan from the Aggborough club. Competition rules prevent Aston Villa work experience teenager William Ricketts from taking part and midfielder George Clegg is a doubt after coming off with an Achilles problem at the weekend.
"I'll probably make one or two changes," Dryden said. "Craig Brown could feature or Ryan Clarke might play centre-half.
"Cleggy has been brilliant. He's like an unsung hero out there, works hard and gets on with it. We'll probably miss him now."
Mark Danks could be involved after coming on as a 74th minute substitute for Matt Dinsmore on Saturday, his first competitive football since January 12.
The striker has returned from cruciate ligament damage ahead of schedule.
Ticket prices for tonight's game are £7 for adults and £3 for concessions.
