Before Kick-Off Against Chester At Sixways

Downes in constant contact with Nottingham Forest over Daly future

Cormac Daly

Aaron Downes says he is in “constant communication” with Nottingham Forest regarding Cormac Daly’s future — despite the forward having initially been reported as joining Hereford FC until the end of the season.

Daly impressed again in Tuesday’s five-goal victory, with the 18-year-old proving a consistent handful for defenders as he netted a brace.

When asked about keeping the striker long-term, Downes replied: “That’s the plan. I’m in constant communication with Nottingham Forest.

“I’ve got a good relationship with them, so ideally, yes, we want to talk about it.”

While the understanding has been that Daly’s spell runs through to the end of the campaign, Downes’ comments suggest ongoing dialogue between the clubs as his development continues.

“He was a handful,” the Bulls boss said. “There’s still work Cormac needs to learn. He’s 18.

“We’ve spoken to him about being ruthless and getting numbers in the game."

Downes believes the loan is providing valuable experience for the teenager and is keen to ensure his progress continues.

“I’m sure Forest are really happy that he’s getting the minutes, the time on the pitch and the experience.”

Daly, who arrived at Edgar Street in January alongside fellow Forest youngster Cherif Yaya, started his career in Scotland for Hamilton Academical before signing his professional contract at Nottingham Forest.

He was part of the team that shocked Scottish youth football by winning the domestic under-18 league and both deals were said to be until the end of the season.

Downes still hunting striker despite five-goal haul

Aaron Downes

Aaron Downes insists Hereford will continue their search for a striker — despite hitting five goals for the first time in 753 days on Tuesday night in a 5-2 win over Chester.

The Bulls produced one of their most fluent attacking displays of the season, with George Munday leading the line superbly and receiving strong support from midfield and wide areas.

But Downes was quick to temper any suggestion that the emphatic win ends the debate over reinforcements up front.

Hereford still have up to eight games in hand, though it's only the two clubs either side of them in the table who have scored fewer goals.

“I’m still looking, don’t worry about that,” he said when asked whether the performance had silenced talk of needing another forward.

When asked if a new striker might be coming in, he added: “Yeah, hopefully.”

"Tonight was more about desire and endeavour and should I say game plan, the way we wanted to attack the night."

The manager revealed the result was built on detailed preparation, including a tactical meeting the night before the game.

“It’s not full-time so we’ve got to get as much time in with the players as possible,” he explained. “The lads gave up 20 minutes of their evening last night for me, which I really appreciate, in order to get some information and detail into them. It's drip feeding.

“We’ve done a lot of work out of possession and yesterday was all about in possession. The boys took it on really well.”

Downes stressed there is “still room for improvement” but described the victory as “another really good step in the right direction” as he continues shaping the squad.

Match report: Hereford hit five for first time in 753 days to see off Seals

Hereford ran out deserved 5-2 winners over Chester in a crucial National League North game at Sixways, which sees them three points closer to safety.

With the threat of relegation still looming over the Bulls, they made it six points out of the nine on offer since Aaron Downes took over from Caddis eight days ago.

Two goals from George Munday and one each for Justin Donawa, Cormac Daly, Keziah Martin meant it was the first time Hereford had put five goals past a side in the league since a 5-2 win over Blyth Spartans on 3rd February 2024 - 88 games ago, or 753 days.

Ahead of the game, Downes made four changes to the side that lost 2-1 to well-drilled promotion-hopefuls Scarborough on Saturday, with Matt Preston, Harley Hamilton, Harry Tustin, and Andy Williams making way for Kyle Howkins, Justin Donawa, new signing Harrison Sohna and Keziah Martin.

With Mafuta and Tustin both carrying knocks, the shuffle of personnel ahead of a jam-packed fixture looked to get off to a bad start as the Bulls fell behind after just five minutes. As Chester burst forward, a cross in from the left saw Keenan Quansah fail to clear under pressure, with the ball falling to Finley Shrimpton to bundle in from close range.

But despite the early setback, Hereford, somewhat uncharacteristically, didn't let their heads drop. Donawa claimed the Bulls' first real chance in the 11th minute, though couldn't find the target. Though the exiled Bulls fans only had to wait five minutes to see their side draw back level. Hereford went route one with a long, lofted ball forward from captain Hudson at left back and it was Munday who brought it under control and teed up Donawa to equalise.

Despite Chester nearly restoring their lead as Michael Kelly's free kick went inches wide of Theo Richardson's goal, Hereford started to click as a side and, committing bodies forward, had Martin fire wide from 20 yards, and Daly denied by a last-ditch defensive block before taking the lead.

On the half-hour mark at Sixways, Skinner surged forward from his position on the right of the back four, Martin and Munday combined well before Daly was picked out at the back post.

But as the game looked to be turning into a goalfest, the hosts were pegged back just four minutes later as Howkins brought Dylan Mottley-Henry down inside the area. After referee Jonathan Maskrey pointed to the spot without hesitation, Connor Woods sent Richardson the wrong way as he dispatched the penalty into the right-hand side of the net.

Undeterred, four minutes later the Bulls went ahead for a second time. Nottingham Forest loanee Daly, already putting in a man-of-the-match performance, burst down the left flank and left his man for dust, crossing in for Keziah Martin to slide home.

Despite still looking shaky defensively, with both goals avoidable, Hereford had looked dangerous on the attack and were deservedly ahead at the break.

Half time: Hereford 3 - Chester 2

Chester came out after the break, understandably desperate to score the next goal, though the Bulls did well to absorb most of the pressure and left the visitors passing around in midfield. The best chance for the hosts fell to Pat Jones who was denied by Hudson throwing his body in front of the shot on the line, with Tom Leak unable to control his shot on the rebound and firing over.

For Hereford, they continued searching for a fourth to make the scoreline more comfortable, with two Munday efforts off target before Donawa did similar. Daly, wanting his second, once again got the better of his man and forced a save out of Bobby Jones.

Chester were still pushing for an equaliser, though the closest they came was through Mottley-Henry in the 73rd minute when he cut inside and beat Quansah but couldn't get the better of Richardson.

After 39 minutes without a goal, Daly bagged his brace in the 77th minute. Hitting Chester on the counterattack, Martin, who only made the starting XI when Mafuta pulled up in the warm-up, found Daly on the wing - his initial shot was parried by Jones but in a stroke of luck, the rebound fell kindly and he made no mistake at the second time of asking.

Now with a two-goal cushion, the Bulls weren't done scoring. Three minutes later and it was Lawson D'Ath, playing his first minutes more than a month after picking up an injury, who created the fifth. The midfielder, who received a good reception when he replaced solid debutant Sohna, played a loose ball into the path of Munday, who rounded the keeper with ease and slotted home into the back of an unguarded net.

Full time: Hereford 5 - Chester 2

Well, what a win for the Lilywhites. A completely different performance to Saturday and, now just five points from safety, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hereford created and took their chances and got what they deserved. Despite still looking vulnerable in defence, with Chester picking on the full-backs who are perhaps too easily beaten and trying to force and capitalise on mistakes from the centre-backing pairing, not playing with one, isolated striker made an untold difference - the front three were too good for Chester on the night, and Cormac Daly was a league above.

Bulls inch closer to safety in seven-goal thriller

A seven goal thriller at Sixways has seen Hereford claim their second win of Aaron Downes's tenure. 

Five goals before the break saw the Bulls lead 3-2, with Justin Donawa, Cormac Daly and Keziah Martin net for the hosts, with Finley Shrimpton and a Connor Woods penalty for the visitors. 

Into the second half and Chester put more pressure on the Bulls which was handled well, before Daly bagged a brace and Munday added a fifth.

Full report, reaction and pictures to follow, as well as results and league table which shows the Bulls edging closer to safety.

Full time: Hereford 5 - Chester 2

Five goals in first half at Sixways

Hereford narrowly lead Chester at half time, with five goals before the break at Sixways. 

Chester took the lead just five minutes in as Keenan Quansah failed to clear the ball after a corner, with Dylan Mottley-Henry teeing up Finley Shrimpton to score.

But Hereford started to click as a team and pulled themselves back level as Lewis Hudson's long ball was well controlled by George Munday, laying off to Justin Donawa to equalise.

The Bulls then took the lead as Aaron Skinner's run down the right saw a number of players combine well, with the ball eventually falling to Cormac Daly to convert.

But the lead didn't stay intact for long as Chester scored their second from the spot courtesy of Connor Woods, though a near immediate reaction from Hereford saw Keziah Martin restore the one-goal lead before the break.

Half time: Hereford 3 - Chester 2

18 Years Ago Today - Hereford Do The Double Over Shrewsbury

A look back to February 23rd 2008.

Bulls Triumphant at New Stadium

Hereford United came from behind for the second successive away game to claim a priceless away victory at local rivals Shrewsbury town. Asa Hall had blasted Shrewsbury into the lead after breaking from midfield, before Simon Johnson's close-range rebound levelled proceedings. Gary Hooper grabbed the winner mid-way through the second half when he nodded in to send the away following of 1,655 into raptures.

Two changes were made from last weekend's home victory over Chesterfield with both coming in central midfield. Kris Taylor was demoted to the bench, despite impressing in recent games, with Ben Smith making a return. Sam Gwynne was out altogether, with new loan signing Stephen Gleeson joining Smith. Former Conference hotshots Guy Madjo and James Constable started up front for The Shrews, whilst under pressure manager Gary Peters handed a debut to left-back James Meredith.

The Bulls mustered up the first opportunity of the first half, with Sherjill Macdonald shooting over after linking up with Hooper on the edge of the box. Moments after, Shrewsbury took the lead with Hall netting in the sixth minute. Madjo turned Beckwith in the middle of the park, and played a sidewards pass to the onrushing Hall, who had burst from midfield in acres of space. The former Birmingham youngster struck powerfully past Wayne Brown from 18 yards to hand first blood to the hosts. Smith tried his best to bring things level against his old club, but a low long shot went wide. The half passed with some neat football, but little in the way of goalmouth action until Hereford got the equaliser.

It came following a fine flowing move, involving the likes of Macdonald, Hooper and Clint Easton on the edge of the area, with Macdonald bursting into the box. His low cross was met by Hooper, who saw his initial shot blocked, and second shot be pushed away by Glyn Garner, before Johnson finally found the back of the net by smashing in from close-range. The half ended with a series of half-chances; firstly Smith shot from a Macdonald lay-off, but again it went wide, whilst Kelvin Langmead's header went over from a Marc Pugh corner. Finally, Macdonald shot weakly at Garner from outside the area, before Uriah Rennie blew up for half-time.

The second half started with Hooper trying his luck, following again some good attacking football, and close knit passing. The ball fell to the on loan Southend striker from the left-hand side of the box, but his low shot was held by Garner. At the other end, Ben Herd's long shot was routinely held by Brown before Constable neatly turned on the edge of the area, but his end shot was woeful and nearer the corner flag down the goal. Steven Leslie replaced Darren Moss for the home side, as they continued to probe with some half-chances. Madjo directed the ball goalwards after a deep cross from Herd wasn't fully cleared, but the ball fell past the post.

Then the moment came when United grabbed the win. It came following some fantastic football, with Macdonald the star. He won the ball on the half-way line, before turning and running at the defence, using his strength and pace to good effect. Hooper collected a low-pass from his strike partner, before feeding the ball out to Johnson on the right-wing. The goalscorer crossed to the back-post where Macdonald headed down and Hooper nodded in past Garner in front of the away end. A fantastic end to a fine move. Hooper's confidence was shown minutes later, as was Johnson's as they linked-up once more, but the end product from Johnson let him down as he sent a half-volley into the arms of Garner.

Chris Humphrey came on for Pugh, as Shrewsbury injected some pace to their wing and they came mighty close to equalising when McIntyre went forward. A deep cross to the back-post was headed back to McIntyre who sent a flying volley inches past Brown's post. Andy Cooke came on in place of Meredith, as Shrewsbury added another attacking option, whilst Theo Robinson replaced Macdonald. The Watford loanee was soon in the action, setting up Gleeson for a sliced half-volley, before shooting himself into the advertising boards from an acute angle. Easton didn't finish the game, as Threlfall took his place, as Hereford looked to see out the closing stages but Shrewsbury came close to snatching a point. Again, a deep-cross to the back-post caused problems, and this time Madjo rose well to head down, but the ball fell just past the near post. Trevor Benjamin came on for Hooper for the final few minutes, and after the three added minutes were filled with whistles from the away end, Uriah Rennie did the honours and blew the all important whistle.

The result now means Hereford have won five on the bounce, and are looking good in the automatic promotion places. 7,402 were present at Oteley Road as United edged a close-game. Again, Macdonald and Hooper did well up front together, with the latter now scoring in his last five games. Gleeson made his debut in central midfield, and looked tidy, without being spectacular. Up next for The Whites is a long trip to Dagenham on Tuesday night; after the 4-1 victory against The Daggers in early February, United must be confident they can complete their third double of the season following previous doubles over Bradford, and Shrewsbury today.

Hereford: Brown, McClenahan, Beckwith, McCombe, Rose, Johnson, Smith, Gleeson, Easton, Hooper, Macdonald.

Subs: Ingham, Threlfall, Taylor, Benjamin, Robinson.

Shrewsbury: Garner, Moss, Langmead, Tierney, Meredith, Herd, Hall, McIntyre, Pugh, Constable, Madjo.

Subs: Bevan, Hunt, Leslie, Humphrey, Cooke.

 

Jason Cowley cannot stop scoring

Former Hereford striker Jason Cowley took his tally to 23 goals this season after scoring four times tonight.

Cowley is now at Halesowen and is the leading scorer in Southern Premier League Central.

His four goals tonight saw the Yeltz win 6-2 at Barwell to go up to fifth and into the play-off places. Another former Hereford player, Tyrone Barnett, also scored for Halesowen with a penalty.

Cowley has always been prolific at Step 3 of non-league football and came to Hereford having scored 24 goals for Stourbridge in the 2022/23 season. In his first campaign with the Bulls, Cowley netted 12 times in 34 appearances.

However, during a pre-season friendly at, ironically, Halesowen in July 2024, Cowley suffered a bad injury, which set him back.

When he did come back into the side, he never got going, only scoring twice.

Despite being offered a new deal by then Hereford manager, Paul Caddis, Cowley decided to go back to the league he flourishes in and joined Halesowen. And he hasn't looked back. 

In the mire and outside the shire

It’s a match-up at Sixways, Worcester on Tuesday night between two National League North clubs who are more potentially EFLish in terms of their fanbases and ancestry than most other NLN sides. Potential counts for nothing though when cold hard reality comes knocking at your door and you get totally done over by the likes of Telford, as both these sides have this season.

In November, when they last met, a heartbreaking 96^th-minute Chester equaliser denied Hereford a rare win, and that game was one of several this season in which the Bulls have done an awful lot right but not come away with the points. That’s not to excuse the many other occasions when an awful lot has been done wrong, resulting similarly in not coming away with the points.

Chester’s own patchiness has resulted in manager Calum McIntyre calling time on his leadership of the side (or having it called for him) when his contract expires at the end of this season, as the Seals look to benefit from a gradual transition to his replacement over the summer. This despite sitting just outside the play-offs.

Declan Weeks, so often the player who makes them tick from his central midfield position, didn’t play at the weekend, so may not start here. He’s had a quiet season by his standards. Dylan Mottram-Henry knows the division well after time spent with South Shields and Buxton. He’s their joint top scorer with seven goals, demonstrating that, like Hereford, their league position is at least partly down to not having a prolific poacher in their side. Their big-money (well £12,500) summer signing Connor Woods got that late goal in November, but has played very few full games this season, contributing a reasonably modest seven goals.

The most notable mention in terms of players is a certain Jaiden White, who arrived at the club on loan earlier in the month, after failing to quite hit the standards he achieved for Hereford last season when he returned to Edgar Street on loan during the winter. He’s made a couple of cameo appearances so far, but like Declan Weeks he wasn’t in the squad at the weekend.

On Saturday Chester did what they had to at Leamington in easing to a 2-0 victory against the bottom club. That leaves them four points behind Macclesfield in the final play-off place, although Macc have played a whopping five fewer games. It’ll be a tall order for Chester to participate in the play-offs at the end of the season, but they’re close enough to ensure that they’ll be doing everything they can to win this.

Hereford will be hoping that Sixways is once again lucky for them, after that late penalty against Darlington last Tuesday. The loss against Scarborough since then isn’t the sort of thing they can afford to do any longer, and their form is worse than the seven sides above them who could be described as fellow relegation candidates. The Bulls are therefore gradually moving further from safety as the season progresses, rather than hauling themselves up and out of trouble.

Until a goalscorer is found it’s difficult to see how that will change, but back-to-back wins would paint a significantly rosier picture by 5pm on Saturday. Unfortunately that’s not something the side has managed, at all, this season. If they can somehow scramble a win here, Alfreton away on Saturday then becomes huge, with a Whites victory there probably seeing them leapfrog the Derbyshire side in the table. Conversely, a pair of draws (so to speak) or worse in the next two games would make things look very, very ominous.

A new player will be coming in before this game according to Aaron Downes. Not a striker, but presumably someone who can add some quality. A commanding centre back? A midfield general? Maybe he could just stand up front and pretend to be a striker and hope that his quality results in a hat-trick. Ooooh, hat-tricks, remember when they were briefly fashionable among Hereford players a few months ago?

Lawson Dath encouragingly is now back from injury and will be available to play some part here. As one of the few players still at the club to have had a good season, his presence has been missed, as has his ability to chip in with goals. If captain and left back Lewis Hudson continues to be relied on as the club’s main goal threat, relegation will be a certainty. Gus Mafuta will also be back for this having missed Saturday.

Last weekend that relegation picture shifted again as Alfreton and Bedford both won, and there’ll be many more nerve-wracking twists and turns to come no doubt before the end of the season, King’s Lynn’s alleged pitch sabotaging being one such, which could result in a points deduction if proved to be a deliberate act to force a postponement. The drop zone needs a twist or a turn in Hereford’s favour on Tuesday night, which can only mean a win, against a bang-average Chester side.

Pinchard Moves To Dorking

 

Former Hereford FC midfielder Harry Pinchard has signed for Dorking FC who play in the National South League.

Pinchard has joined from Gloucester where he has played since the start of the 2023/24 season. Previously he was with Hereford.

The fee is undisclosed.

“Naturally, we are disappointed to lose Pinchy, more so because of the poor timing in which he’s decided to explore a move and depart," said manager Daf Williams.

"We did everything we could to keep him, but ultimately, he wanted to leave, and we were unable to change his mind."

Pinchard is pleased with the move.

“I’m over the moon to join the Wanderers. I’m really grateful to everyone who has helped make this happen.

I can’t wait to play in front of the fans on Saturday and help the lads get over the line this season.”

 Dorking are top of the National South League. 

Tamworth FC Financial Results

Tamworth FC, currently in the National League, have published their results for last season. They show a profit of circa £250,000.

Their income was boosted by an FA Cup run which included a tie against Spurs which was televised. Without that income they might have struggled to break even.

Shareholders funds increased to £112,558 on the back of the profit. 

 

 

Claims King's Lynn "manipulated" postponement by soaking pitch

The National League are investigating claims that King's Lynn "manipulated" the postponement of a recent match by deliberately soaking their pitch ahead of a planned pitch inspection.

The Non-League Paper have images that were leaked to them that appear to show the Docherty Walks Stadium deliberately being watered while it was already raining.

The scheduled match against South Shields on February 14 was called off the day before.

The NLP has approached King's Lynn, but the club had not replied.

It is alleged that the irrigation system was in full flow for 45 minutes on the Friday afternoon, despite it raining, two hours before the scheduled pitch inspection.

It has been reported that King's Lynn were hit by a flu bug and a mounting injury list that had decimated the squad. However, instead of following normal FA protocol for medical postponements that require a doctor's certificate, it is alleged that the club took things into their own hands.

The National League are currently investigating the claims, and if found guilty, King's Lynn could face heavy sanctions.

The Linnets are 19th in National League North, four points above the relegation zone. 

 

Meanwhile there's an interesting article about the story here:  https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/25876748.kings-lynn-town-great-pitch-sprinkler-mystery/ 

New Signing Expected Before Chester Game

Hereford manager Aaron Downes is hopeful that he can announce a new signing ahead of tomorrow evening's game against Chester which is being played at Sixways.

Whilst there is a view that another striker is needed, Downes has said the the player he hopes to sign is not a striker.

"I think there will be one in before Chester," said Downes.

"It's not a striker."

Downes also said he hoped Gus Mufuta and Lawson D'Ath should be fit enough to at least play some part in the game. 

Mitch Roberts wasn't on the bench last Saturday.

"He's just weighing up options."

Spennymoor statement after sacking manager

Spennymoor have sacked manager Graeme Lee after a poor run of results.

They are currently 13th in the National North League. Yesterday they lost 4-0 at home to Darlington.

Hereford play Spennymoor on March 24th at Edgar Street, 

This from Spennymoor FC. 

Lee arrived as boss at the Club in January 2024, following in the footsteps of his late father Tony in taking to the dugout at The Brewery Field.

He immediately set about driving the team clear of relegation trouble and an astonishing seven-game winning streak almost saw Moors snatch a play-off place on the final day of 2023/24.

As well as keeping Moors in the hunt for a top seven finish the following year, Lee also guided the Club to a historic appearance at Wembley in the FA Trophy Final in May 2025.

Under his leadership, the players and supporters enjoyed many incredible moments during that run and created memories which will last a lifetime.

Lee, along with Assistant Manager Ian Clark, leaves the Club with everyone’s thanks for their hard work and sincere best wishes for the future.
