9:37pm

9:31pm

And Marsh broke into the area before losing control of the ball.

9:27pm

With play rarely entering the two penalty areas, Will Evans smashed a trademark long-range drive over from 35 yards.

9:18pm

Hereford continued to look calm on the ball and Pell, who had been the victim of a crude challenge by McNamee shortly before, curled a shot just over on 73 minutes.

9:14pm

Nuneaton hit back with McNamee cracking a shot wide from distance.

9:11pm

Hereford enjoyed a long spell of possession without really threatening.
Pell did get a ball through to Marsh but then scuffed a shot wide from the return pass.

9:04pm

On 58 minutes, Bittner had to make a flying save to hold a header from Andy Brown before Marsh caused the home defence to react quickly as he chased down a long ball.

8:55pm

Nuneaton forced a corner at the start of the second period with Adam Walker’s flag-kick flicked behind for a goal-kick.

8:28pm

Hereford, who had been restricted to counter-attacking, were presented with a shooting chance from a free-kick on 42 minutes.
Clucas’ effort from 30 yards was powerful and accurate but straight at MacNamara.

8:23pm

On 38 minutes, Hereford had to use their third substitute through injury with Watkins leaving the field to be replaced by Simon Clist.

8:20pm

Nuneaton continued to press the re-shuffled Hereford defence and Wes York drilled a shot over from 30 yards.

8:14pm

Within four minutes, Hereford lost another defender with Chris Carruthers leaving the field to be replaced by Joe Heath.

8:11pm

Four minutes later, Hereford’s jinxed centre-back position was in the spotlight again as skipper Luke Graham had to leave the field with what appeared a hamstring problem to be replaced by Stam.

8:08pm

It was Nuneaton who enjoyed the majority of the attacking in the next phase but James Bittner had little to do until the 22nd minute when he left his line to fist away a Simon Forsdick cross.

7:58pm

After 12 minutes, Hereford created a good opening as Will Evans and Harry Pell combined to play in Watkins whose low shot was blocked by MacNamara.

7:53pm

Nuneaton swiftly moved down the other end but James Armson blasted over from a good position.

7:48pm

Excellent work by Sam Clucas down the left in the early stages forced a corner for Hereford after just two minutes.
A second quickly followed but goalkeeper Ben McNamara grabbed Marley Watkins’ cross.

7:32pm

HEREFORD boss Martin Foyle made two changes for the Bulls first ever encounter with Nuneaton Town.
On-loan centre-back Chris Todd was named alongside his former Forest Green team-mate Luke Graham with Stefan Stam dropped to the bench.
And, in attack, Ryan Bowman, who had played most of Saturday’s clash with Stockport after the early injury to Marlon Jackson, was named to start alongside the other Forest Green loanee Phil Marsh.
