David Mehew opened the scoring for Farnborough with a crisp 25 yard drive which skipped off the ground and over DeBont's outstretched arm, leaving the Bulls chasing the match, as has happened so many times in the past.

John Brough had made some valiant efforts and set the woodwork shaking twice in the first period but with Farnborough defending well he hard pushed to making anything count.

With the match quickly coming to a close and some of the home fans having left in disguest, John Brough finally squeezed a header past Stuart MacKenzie to level the scoreline. Rob Warner had delivered the ball beautifully from United's only corner kick of the second half.

The clincher came just four minutes later as the fans sang out. Rob Warner eased the ball out to Jamie Pitman who was in his favourite position with a narrowing angle on the right of the box. He collected the ball, bringing it under control and moving forward, fizzed his shot past the stranded MacKenzie.

This also gave Jamie his first goal of the season and a regular place in the starting line-up.

The victory was greatly needed by United as they are in desperate need of support with attendances flaging due to some very poor showings. Even with this victory showing promise and bringing Hereford their first double-scalp of the season, the championship looks an awful long way away
