Farnborough Town 0 - 2 Hereford United

23rd August 1997

Hereford finally claimed their first victory in the Conference with a win at Farnborough which was much needed for the team and fans alike.

Grayson opened the scoring after just 5 minutes but he was deemed offside and the goal disallowed. This didn't harm his confidence though as he continued to pressure the Farnborough goal.

David Norton and Chris Hargreaves also had shots denied late in the first half.

Farnborough did rise to the occasion for a period at the start of the second half by sending in some excellent long shots which Chris Mackenzie duly dealt with.

The deadlock broke in the 66th minute as Gavin Mahon laid off to Grayson on the wing who in turn crossed into the box for a waiting Murray Fishlock at the near post.

The second was completed by Ian Foster, who had replaced Mahon, in the 78th minute by running past the defence and crossing to Grayson who finished the cross easily.

At last some decent points on the board but 4 out of 9 will not see us back to the league if the trend continues.
