After last night's FA Youth Cup Tie at Hyde, Manchester City's Youth Coach praised the Hereford side.
"Full credit to Hereford, it was like their cup final and it showed.
"I thought they battled really well.
"I've just spoken to their coach and he should be really proud of his players.
"We've now gone twelve games unbeaten but full credit to Hereford."
Meanwhile Peter Beadle, the Hereford manager, was delighted with his side's performance.
"They keep surprising us, they've got this inner belief, this never say die attitude as a group," Beadle told Bulls Player.
"It would have been easy for the boys to have folded after twenty seconds.
"City have got some fantastic players but we gave them a proper game tonight."
