Hereford went ahead against Barnet in the 33rd minute through Daniel Carey-Bertram after good work from Danny Williams.

Hereford were awarded a free-kick which Stanley took. Danny Williams picked-up the ball on the left, went past several Barnet players and slotted it through to Carey-Bertram who was one on one with the keeper. The Hereford striker calmly put the ball in the far corner of the net.

David Brown has come on for Danny Williams in the middle of the second half and later Adam Stansfield came on for the Bulls. Ryan Green also featured late in the game.

Adam Stansfield scored Hereford's second goal in injury time. He was released and went around the keeper very calmly.

Hereford United, who have about 500 supporters at the game, played up the famous Underhill slope in the first half.

Herefords' starting line-up was the same as last week against Hyde but with Adam Stansfield on the bench instead of Graham Hyde. Andy Tretton is also on the bench for Tom Smith.

Hereford Team: Mawson, Travis, James, Mkandawire, Robinson, Williams, Pitman, Stanley, Anyinsah, Purdie, Carey-Bertram. Subs: Green, Tretton, Scott, Stansfield, Brown.

Conditions at Barnet were blustery with a few light showers.

Meanwhile two Conference games have been postponed because of wet conditions. They are Morecambe against Aldershot and Tamworth versus Leigh RMI.
