Hereford produced a mediocre performance tonight against a team who has already twice beaten them this season in both the league and the FA Trophy. Surprisingly though they came away with a draw and further extended their unbeaten run to a whopping 10 games.
Dover made most of the running though and opened the scoring after just 5 minutes when Carl Alford scrapped a shot past Andy Quy from the edge of the box.
United returned the pressure fairly quickly after this with Richard Leadbeater trying hard to no avail. His first effort was fired straight at the waiting Dover keeper and held very little power anyway. His second was effort was probably from an easier position but the lob shot was wide of goal.
Dover were now starting to regain the upper hand, but Gavin Williams had other ideas. Ian Rodgerson started the move with a short run down the wing and then crossed sweetly to Williams who collected the ball first time and then finished it with a powerful drive from 10 yards out.
The second half really kept Hereford on the run though, as Dover increased the pressure, forcing United to defend deep into their own half. Murray Fishlock saved the point by clearing a shot from the line with barely inches to spare.
Overall this was not a great performance by any means but considering the distance travelled and the fact that this season is technically over. However a point is a point and helps us to stay in fifth position.
