Bulls draw Coventry Friendly

Hereford United drew their friendly 1-1 at Coventry earlier today.

Amidst those playing for the Bulls were Samson, Breen, Jones, Macleod, Done, Gwynne and Chadwick. Chadwick scored the Bulls goal just before half time with a backheel from three yards. Coventry equalised through Joel Grandison just after half time, clearing the defence to slide the ball under Samson's body.

There is a full report on the Coventry Mad website. Below are a few of the highlights from it.

Centre Forward Nick Chadwick fired just wide in the 28th minute and a shot from the visitors number eleven had to be deflected for a 35th minute corner. This led to the ball being sprayed across the pitch for Hereford's number six to get into the six yard box and fire a shot which Konstantopolous managed to block with his legs.

Less than thirty seconds before the end of the first half, Hereford took the lead. The vistors had earned themselves a corner. This was sent deep to the far side of the penalty area before being sent back for Nick Chadwick to backheel the ball into the net from three yards.

Within three minutes of the restart, the Sky Blues were level. Joel Grandison got the goal, when he turned inside the area to collect a precision pass from Matty West and slip the ball under Craig Samson.

One goal almost became two, a minute later, when Sean Jeffers got through only to be denied by Samsom with his legs.

They were denied what looked a penalty when Hereford's number eight was brought down by subsititute Jamie Greenway in the 65th minute before Marshall saved on his left four minutes later.

It was the City keeper who was now far the busier in the last fifteen minutes of the match. Twice, Hereford had gone close before Marshall denied Chadwick's volley and then got down to save an 84th minute low volley from Hereford's number seven who had got on the end of an excellent left wing cross for a substitute
