HEREFORD will visit Hillsborough later this month after the latest in their famous list of FA Cup victories.

Mathiue Manset scored after 32 minutes to earn victory and the not inconsiderable boost of £67,500 for the coffers.

It was Hereford’s second away FA Cup win on a Fooball League ground in four days, as many as they had managed in the previous 38 years put together.

With Ryan Green suspended, Bulls chief Jamie Pitman decided to revert to a 4-4-2 formation.

This saw Richard Rose move to right-back with Joe Colobeck returning on the right of the midfield quartet with Kenny Lunt on the left.

In-form strike duo Stuart Fleetwood and Mathieu Manset, with 20 goals between them in the last 14 matches, were named in attack.

Rob Purdie and Sean Canham returned to the substitutes’ bench after injury.

Fleetwood had an excellent chance within two minutes when a one-two with Lunt sent him clear.

Fleetwood controlled the ball poorly, however, sending him away from goal and the chance was gone.

Colbeck was next to find himself with a good opening.

The winger was clear when he met Nicky Featherstone’s but headed wide of the target.

Fleetwood then raced on to a Manset pass with only some last-ditch defending putting the ball behind for a corner.

Hereford’s pace in attack was causing the home team problems and Colbeck raced away on the left to deliver a cross which was headed clear.

On 15 minutes, Hereford nearly had a piece of good fortune when Manset’s shot took a deflection and was heading for the top corner only for Nikki Bull to pull off a fine save.

Wycombe’s attack had rarely made any headway against the Hereford barrage but, on 16 minutes, Kevin Betsy who teed up Stuart Beavon for a shot which flashed just wide.

Betsy then found himself in the clear and forced an excellent reaction block from Adam Bartlett.

Alan Bennett evaded the Hereford defence to meet a cross from the left but flicked his header just wide.

With Wycombe now pressing Hereford back, Bartlett had to leap to tip over a Gareth Ainsworth cross.

Janos Kovacs’ lack of pace saw him caught out with Hereford lucky to survive the ensuing scramble with the ball coming back off the bar with Bartlett beaten.

After being penned back for so long, Hereford suddenly broke out and a Colbeck shot deflected behind off a defender.

The short corner was taken to Fleetwood whose cross was headed across goal by Rose for Manset to flick home.

The big Frenchman showed some neat trickery shortly afterwards to send a cross skidding across goal just beyond the reach of Fleetwood.

With Hereford resuming the attack in the lead-up to half-time, Bull dropped a McQuilkin corner but Hereford were unable to profit.

Hereford resisted some early second-half pressure from Wycombe before almost adding a second themselves on 58 minutes.

Colbeck skated down the inside-left channel before driving in a shot which Bull turned behind for a corner.

Wycombe started to push men forward as the game entered the final half-hour and Stuart Lewis drove a shot over from 20 yards.

Matt Bloomfield followed suit a few minutes later before Manset earned a free-kick 20 yards out in a dangerous position.

Unfortunately, Heath’s effort was dangerous only to Wycombe fans near the back of the stand as he shot high over.

Wycombe made three substitutions and pushed even more men forward but Hereford reorganised and defended efficiently.

They continued to play good passing football and a fine move sent Colbeck away on the left to deliver a cross which Fleetwood almost got on the end of.

Then Lunt received a pass from Rose in the area but lacked support at the vital time.

An instinctive save from Bartlett kept Hereford ahead as the Bulls continued to soak up the pressure.

As the players faced up to five minutes added time, a Beavon shot flashed across goal and narrowly wide.
