Hereford United could only draw against Dagenham this afternoon in a game of two penalties.
They stay in second place although Halifax defeated Southport and therefore closed the gap on the Bulls.
In truth this was a pretty dull affair with few shots on target. Rob Purdie converted a penalty for the Bulls in the second half, but Dagenham also converted a penalty after one of their strikers was adjudged to have been impeded by a Bulls player.

Hereford United now need 7 more points to be certain of a play-off place. As matters stand at present they could meet Halifax in the play-offs.
Meanwhile Accrington Stanley will have to wait until at least next Saturday to be sure of winning the Conference title. In essence they are there, but both Grays, Halifax and Hereford could in theory win. However Accrington would need to lose all their remaining games by a fairly large margin and one of the other teams win all theirs also by a reasonable margin.
