'Hereford have been fortunate to be 2-0 up at half-time, they have not had the majority of the possession but they've been ruthless when they have.
Stourbridge have looked quite tidy as a side, lots of decent approach play but not much final ball.
But you wonder how Stourbridge don't understand that Cowley, who they know well, is a top class striker.
He has scored two goals almost out of nothing, the first as a result of good work by Bisemo who is playing wide right.
The second was an assist from Rooney who laid it back and Cowley shot from 25 yards with no one closing him down, the ball landing just inside the right post.
Later on the ball came to him, just outside the edge of the box, and he put a lovely ball towards the other corner.
For Stourbridge former Hereford striker Ethan Freemantle has wanted to show he could have played for Hereford. You can't fault his effort, his committment. He did one very impressive shoulder charge on Mark Derricott winning the ball. but when he got down the left he should have been able to fine one or two attackers but the ball wasn't good enough with Preston reading the ball very well.
Hereford keeper Aaron Chapman had a chance to shine early on, a cross from the left was met by a Stourbridge forward who was offside but Chapman didn't know that and he headed down low and the keeper got down low to his left and made an excellent save.
Even better just before half time, a soft penalty won by Freemantle against Burroughs.
Freemantle took it and hit it hard and low to the right of Chapman who got down low. The ball was probably going eighteen inches inside the post.
Chapman got to it, his height coming in handy.
It was Chapman's chance to shine and he took it.'
