Full-time: Hereford United 0 Nuneaton Town 0 (From Hereford Times)

8:19pm

HEREFORD’S poor home form was again in evidence when they were unable to find a way through against relegation-threatened Nuneaton, creating just one on-target chance in 90 minutes.
Hereford were able to announce an unchanged team for the fifth successive game for Town’s first visit to Edgar Street.
But there was an alteration on the bench with new arrival Joe Connor taking a place for the first time.
Lee Burge, who comes from Hereford, was in goal for Nuneaton. The youngster is on loan from Coventry City.
Hereford were almost caught out as they attack from the start.
Nuneaton hit them on the counter and Connor Taylor streaked clear after getting away from Andy Gallinagh.
He was driven wide, though and his cross was cleared by James Musa.
After that, the game settled into a scrappy phase which brought a shot from Sam Clucas, yards wide of the target.
The Bulls forced the first corner after nine minutes but Chris Sharp was pulled up for a foul.
Hereford won a free-kick on the right after 15 minutes but Marley Watkins’ cross was confidently fielded by Burge.
Hereford, in keeping with recent matches, were taking some time to get their game going and Nuneaton were having more of the ball.
Andy Brown went close with a right-foot shot which sent the ball skidding wide from 10 yards.
After enduring a long spell of pressure, Hereford won a second corner on 26 minutes but the sequence of play ended with a poor effort from Sam Clucas which flew high over.
Clucas played a neat pass to send Sharp away but his pass to Ryan Bowman was poor.
Nuneaton broke out and missed their best chance with Brown heading wide from a cross by Lewis Moult from just six yards out.
The second half started little better with continuing scrappy play but Taylor directed a header over from a Wesley York cross after 50 minutes.
Hereford forced their third corner on 54 minutes.
Yet again the move broke down and it came to nothing.
Martin Foyle made a double substitution on 57 minutes in an attempt to get some life into the game.
But it was Nuneaton who missed a glorious chance to take the lead on 63 minutes.
Aaron Phillips got around the back of the Bulls defence and dragged the ball back to York who shot high over from a great position.
Hereford finally created a chance at the other end with Josh O’Keefe heading over from a Clucas free-kick. 
A great block from Luke Graham on 73 minutes prevented Moult from opening the scoring.
But Bittner was left scrambling across his goal as a header from skipper Gareth Dean came within a couple of feet of giving Nuneaton the lead.
Nuneaton won their first corner on 83 minutes but, unsurprisingly, on such a poor afternoon, it brought no danger.
Two minutes later, a blunder by new arrival Connor let in York, whose shot was expertly parried away by Bittner for a further corner.
In the final minute, Hereford conjured up their first on target effort, a header by Chris Carruthers from a Connor cross which was easily saved by Burge, whose general handling and dealing with crosses had been exemplary.
