Week off for the Bulls

Hereford United will have a week before they play again after this afternoon's excellent result from Underhill. Next Saturday the Bulls are at home against Canvey Island.

The Bulls have now played both top teams, Barnet and Aldershot, twice and face current third placed Carlisle for the second time this season at Edgar Street in a months time on March 15th, a Tuesday evening. The Cumbrians defeated the Bulls 3-1 last October.

However of the other teams in contention for a play-off place, Hereford United have to travel to both Halfax and Woking in the last few days of the season.

Meanwhile Jamie Pitman admitted to BBC Hereford and Worcester after the game that Barnet are still in the driving seat.

"They have been magnificent this year. You hope that they might slip up and we keep winning but their lead is quite substantial.

Of the game itself Pitman commented:

"I think we've looked a lot stronger on the break today. They had to come at us, but we know we are a good side and at the moment confidence is high and we have to keep pushing as much as we can.

"Set pieces caused us a few problems and Craig made two or three great saves when he needed to."

The second goal was scored in injury time and Pitman said it would have been nice to have the cushion of that goal sooner.

"We felt it (the second goal) was coming at times and we had a couple of good balls into the box we possibly should have down a bit better with beforehand."

Meanwhile a young trialist from West Bromwich has been at Edgar Street this week according to BBC Sport.

West Brom have terminated Phillip Midworth's contract by mutual consent.
The Baggies defender, whose contract was due to end in June, had been on the transfer list for more than six weeks and has been training with Hereford.

Midworth is also expected to link up with League two side Shrewsbury Town for a reserve team match.

Manager Bryan Robson said: "I decided Phil is not part of my plans a few weeks ago but he is a terrific pro who I'm sure will do a good job elsewhere."

Midworth is 19 and six feet tall.
