  • ROLLING MATCH REPORT
  • HEREFORD held play-off chasing AFC Telford United to a 1-1 draw after Rowan Liburd saw his first half opener canceled out by Shane Sutton.
  • Hereford got off to a perfect start when James Waite put a lovely ball through ball to Liburd who took a touch before firing into the bottom corner to give his side a seventh minute lead.
  • Play-off chasing Telford looked for a route back into the game and despite having a host of free-kicks were denied by Matt Yates' collections and Josh Gowling clearances.
  • The closest the visitors came to an equaliser was seconds before the break when Ryan Barnett sent a stinging effort just over the bar.
  • Eliot Richards almost doubled the Bulls' lead after the break with a dipping shot which was just tipped over by goalkeeper Josef Bursik.
  • At the other end Hereford were given a warning when Matt Yates was out-muscled by Daniel Udoh who passed back to James McQuilkin only to be denied by a last ditch block.
  • And then on the 62nd minute the Bucks drew level when Stephan Morley's free-kick was met by Theo Streete on the byline who played the ball back to Shane Sutton to tap into an empty net.
  • With Telford looking for a vital victory in their play-off push the Bulls were looking to spoil their hopes.
  • Liburd almost fired Hereford back ahead and his low shot after being played through by Waite was only denied by the leg of Bursik.
  • The Telford goalkeeper was in action again inside the last 10 minutes this time denying a Mike Symons header down low from a Danny Greenslade cross.
