Biggest defeat for 46 years

Bognor slipped to their heaviest home defeat for 46 years this afternoon when Hereford dumped them out of the FA Trophy reports the Official Bognor Website.

Rocks started poorly and were 2-0 down after 12 minutes, with Bulls having scored through Andy Williams and Adam Stansfield.

Bognor hit back almost straightaway, and scored with their first real attack of the game after 15 minutes when Richard Hudson's cross from the right was met by Dan Beck at the far post, who shot home.

Rocks improved thereafter, and almost drew level on 54 minutes when Beck's header - again from a Hudson centre - was superbly tipped round the post by Hereford keeper Craig Mawson.

Hereford added the killer third after 62 minutes when Rob Purdie scored from a twice-taken penalty, given after Tom Elphick was harshly adjudged to have handled Purdie's cross.

Then Bulls hit Rocks with four goals in a 12-minute spell, scored by Guy Ipoua, Craig Stanley, Purdie and Jamie Pitman.
