Young Bulls Storm To Giantkillers Cup Final


Hereford FC under-18s set themselves up with an Edgar Street final after beating Pegasus Juniors 4-1 in the HFA Giantkillers Cup semi-final.



Sean Swann opened the scoring for the young Bulls with the first real chance of the game at Old School Lane, but they weren't ahead long as the hosts pulled a goal back following a series of corners ten minutes later.



Hereford retook the lead before half time as Swann grabbed his second from distance 


with under-16s player Kyle Wood smashing home a header from a corner, making it 3-1 after the break.

Swann had an opportunity to complete his hat-trick after a handball saw Hereford awarded a penalty, but his tame shot was saved by the keeper.



But in the dying stages of the game Swann did get his third and he slotted the ball home, booking his side a place in the final against Stourport Swifts.

Under-18s Head Coach Dan Chance thought he said could've been more clinical, despite being on the right end of the 4-1 scoreline.

"Really happy I think we dominated throughout the game and had loads of good possession," Chance said.

"First half they (Pegasus) worked hard which made it difficult for us, put us under pressure, but I thought we came through that quite well. Then second half we've seen a lot more of the possession, dominated for longer spells and created some good chances.

"Probably haven't been clinical enough, but that's the same story as what we had last week. We probably need to convert more of what we're creating, but the fact we're creating them and we're having really good possession and we're dominating games is something we need to be happy with."
