On 14 minutes Hereford opened the scoring against the run of play when Harry Jones rolled the ball across the edge of the box from the right to Jack Tolley who clinically rifled past Easington Sports keeper Harris.
The lead was doubled from the spot after Read-Morgan brought down Jones inside the box with the referee initially playing advantage which allowed Logan Fisher to run onto the loose ball before shooting wide, he then pulled it back for the spot-kick which Jones nonchalantly despatched past Harris into the bottom-left corner.
In the second-half and the young Bulls added a third in style, Tolley picked up a loose ball, rounded Thomas before firing goalwards only for the out-stretched right leg of Harris to deny him before Harley Jones Williams latched onto the loose ball on the edge of the box, steadied himself before letting rip with a sumptuous half-volley which nestled into the top-right corner leaving goalkeeper Harris clutching at thin air.
Easington we're given a lifeline pulling a goal back after a hooked ball by Lloyd-Thomas from the left towards the penalty spot found Harris who let the ball run through onto his right and fired through the legs of Will Utley.
However Hereford regained their three goal advantage when a free-kick near to the dugouts was hung into the box by Utley finding the head of substitute Ollie Morris to glance in off the underside of the crossbar before shutting up shop to see the rest of the tie out to secure safe passage through to the FA Youth Cup 1st Round.
Next for the U18's after receiving a walkover and progress in the 1st Round against Kewford Eagles U18’s they welcome Studley to Newton Farm in the Colin Lowe Memorial League Cup 2nd Round next Wednesday.
