Hereford'S Danny Gomberra (left) kicks downfield under pressure from two Spalding players in the Tetley Bitter Cup preliminary round at Wyeside on Saturday.
Despite Gomberra's efforts, Hereford went down 16-12 to their lower-graded visitors and so missed out on a financial opportunity which would have guaranteed them a minimum of £4,000 for getting through to the competition's first round proper.
