Hereford FC v Boston United as it happens and scores

Our live feed has now finished.

  • HEREFORD played out a goalless draw with Boston United as new manager Russell Slade earned his first point in charge.
  • AS IT HAPPENED
  • The Bulls went within an inch of taking the lead early on when Bradley Ash's low shot was fumbled an inch wide by goalkeeper Peter Crook.
  • Boston responded and Simon Ainge saw his header drop just wide.
  • Tom Platt was next to go close for the Pilgrims but saw his effort at the back post saved by Brandon Hall.
  • The quick inter-change of the United forwards had the Bulls in trouble and only a last ditch Martin Riley tackle denied Brad Abbott a certain goal.
  • The Bulls started the second half well and Reece Styche played through strike partner Rowan Liburd, but his effort was saved at a tight angle.
  • Raheem Hanley was next to go close as a long throw fell for the winger, but his powerful volley was blocked.
  • With Martin Riley down injured Boston capitalised and Dom Knowles fired into the side-netting at the back post.
  • At the other end Tommy O'Sullivan almost opened the scoring in front of the Meadow End, but his volley was blocked.
  • Boston were only denied a certain opener by a Kieran Thomas header off the goal-line from Luke Shields' header.
  • In injury time Tom Owen-Evans had a chance to win the tie but headed Raheem Hanley's corner wide at the front post.
