Todays game was an end to end affair with both goalkeepers kept busy. Some 13,640 attended with 277 supporting the Bulls.

Possession was deemed to be 53% to Bradford and 47% to Hereford.

The Bantams had 10 shots on target as opposed to eight by the Bulls.

Bradford were penalised for 16 fouls as against just 8 by the Bulls.

Bulls captain Ben Smith was given a yellow card for a bad challenge. However the conditions weren't ideal for football with wind and rain for much of the game and it was noticable that several Bulls players were 'careful' with their tackling.

Robinson was awarded an eight for his efforts this afternoon. Beckwith, Benjamin and Johnson each received a seven and the remaining Hereford players a six.
