No goals were scored during an even first half between Cinderford and Hereford.
Rowan Liburd blazed over the bar for Hereford in the sixth minute before he was denied by a last-ditch tackle just minutes later.
Then in the 9th minute, Reece Styche saw a free kick go just over.
Another Liburd chance went begging before Cinderford had chances to score.
First, Ethan Moore headed over in the 17th minute, while Craig Norman shot wide from distance. Then in the 37th minute, Hereford keeper Brandon Hall saved from Marley Thomas.
