Hard work but three points

Hereford United did not repeat the recent form shown at Barnet and Aldershot this afternoon and made hard work of defeating Canvey Island by the only goal of the game scored by Danny Williams.

But the win for the Bulls coupled with defeats for both Barnet and Carlisle has allowed them to move up to fourth place in the Conference.

Accrington are now second with a one goal better goal-difference than the Bulls. Woking are in third place.

Both Jamie Pitman and Adam Stansfield had to be subbed during the early part of the second half. Both appeared to be carrying knocks to the ankle.
