Bulls thrash Bees to clinch promotion

12:22pm Friday 2nd May 2008

HEREFORD United are promoted to League 1 after their 15th away win of the season at Brentford. First-half goals from Gary Hooper and Theo Robinson and then an injury-time strike from Simon Johnson topped off a memorable afternoon and season. The Bulls starting lineup was unchanged with the only small alteration the recall of Steve Guinan to the bench in place of Trevor Benjamin. Brentford, who were not actively involved in either the promotion or relegation battles, included former Bulls striker Alan Connell. To add to the confusion factor, however, both sides included a player called Wayne Brown. It was the Brentford version who had the game’s first shot, firing high over his namesake’s goal inside the first minute. Then, as the home side made the early pace, Alan Bennett volleyed over from a Ryan Dickson free-kick. Hereford, after a nervous start, gradually gained their composure and started to dominate. The Bulls forced a couple of corners which came to nothing before taking the lead on 18 minutes. Robinson’s flick played in Hooper and while keeper Ben Hamer got a hand to his low shot, he was unable to keep it out. Only a fine Hamer save prevented Clint Easton from extending the lead in 24th minute with the goalkeeper clawing away a 20-yard drive for a corner. From a further flag-kick on 32 minutes, Hereford were given a great chance to extend the lead. Centre-back Bennett climbed all over Dean Beckwith from Sammy Igoe’s flag-kick and referee Scott Mathieson awarded a penalty. Robinson rolled the ball home but Mathieson ordered a re-take.
