  • ROLLING MATCH REPORT
  • The opening 20 minutes provided little in the way of action with Kyle Finn's effort at the goalkeeper the only attempt at goal.
  • Josh Gowling and Hereford fans thought they deserved a 22nd minute penalty when the defender was bundled over inside the box.
  • Nuneaton almost took the lead two minutes later when Ryan Edmunds flashed a cross across the face of goal, but nobody tapped home.
  • However, it was Hereford who took a 25th minute lead when Tom Owen-Evans latched onto a long ball before beating the goalkeeper and sliding home into an empty net.
  • Nuneaton responded and put the hosts under pressure with Miles Addison heading a first free-kick wide.
  • And then at the second attempt the Boro leveled when Mike Calveley bundled home following a free-kick.
  • Nuneaton then made their pressure count and took a 38th minute lead with Yusifu Ceesay seeing his effort deflected over and from the resulting corner Calveley headed home.
  • Hereford started the second half better and George Lloyd kept the ball in well at the byline before finding Tom Owen-Evans, but the midfielder miss-timed his volley.
  • Owen-Evans was on hand to fire Hereford level from the penalty spot after being brought down inside the box.
  • Hereford were now on top and substitute Keyon Reffell had a golden chance a minute after coming on.
  • Mike Symons played him through on goal but under pressure the midfielder fired wide.
  • As Hereford pushed forwards they were left open at the back and Ceesay found Reece Leek unmarked, but he was denied by a charging Matt Yates save.
  • Nuneaton goalkeeper Cam Belford then twice denied Hereford firstly from Eliot Richards' driven shot and then Mike Symons.
  • It was nearly a disaster in the last minute as Harvey Smith headed back to the goalkeeper and Ceesay intercepted the ball and chipped over the stranded Matt Yates.
