  • ROLLING MATCH REPORT
  • HEREFORD FC suffered an eighth home defeat of the season as Boston United took a 2-0 victory.
  • Hereford started brightly with loanee winger Jak Hickman creating space before crossing for Mike Symons, who flicked his header wide.
  • Boston took a surprise 33rd minute lead after goalkeeper Matt Yates could only tip Andi Thanoj's dipping shot wide.
  • Nicky Wroe's resulting corner was punched down by Yates for Tom Clare to tap into an empty net.
  • Hereford looked to respond immediately and Jak Hickman's corner was headed over by Jordan Cullinane-Liburd.
  • The hosts went even closer moments later as Rowan Liburd saw his effort blocked off the line after Hickman's free-kick was flicked down for the striker.
  • At the opposite end Kieran Thomas had a heart in mouth moment as his clearance just flew past his own post.
  • Hereford probed again before the break as Liburd headed down to Tom Owen-Evans whose deflected effort was just saved by George Willis.
  • The resulting corner was headed over by Cullinane-Liburd.
  • Clare could have had his second goal just after the break when he beat the off-side trap and despite Jordan Culliane-Liburd making a last ditch tackle the striker managed to put his effort just wide.
  • Straight up the other end Rowan Liburd put his effort over in front of goal before Tommy O'Sullivan saw his powerful shot saved.
  • Despite having to withstand Boston possession the Bulls almost pulled level as James Waite's shot on the turn was just saved by George Willis.
  • Moments later Rowan Liburd saw his header sail over the bar.
  • Despite looking for a route back into the tie Boston sealed the points with a second goal after 73 minutes.
  • Josh Gowling was judged to have fouled Ryan Qualter inside the box allowing Brad Abbott to scuff his penalty into the bottom corner.
  • Waite had another chance to pull a goal back with four minutes remaining after the ball was flicked through a crowded box for the striker, but he put his effort over.
