Alvechurch 0 Hereford United 2

TABLE-topping Hereford stren-gthened their title bid in the Southern Division of the Midland Floodlit Under-18 Youth League with a crucial away win.

The Bulls stepped up a gear after an even first half and deservedly opened their account after 65 minutes when sweeper Paul Brown headed in a Simon Gwilliam corner.

Hereford sealed victory when Paul Collins broke away with 18 minutes remaining and slipped the ball to leading-scorer Adam Kite, who confidently netted his 12th goal of the season.
