No excuses

On Thursday a Hereford side yet again failed to cope with Alfreton simply being Alfreton. You know what’s coming and you know it won’t be pretty, but given where they are in the table other sides have clearly managed to deal with the bombardment defensively and ripped them to shreds at the other end. It’s that defensive aspect that is a continuing concern for Hereford.

The Bulls are of course straight back in action on Saturday as they travel up to Macclesfield, following a midweek that’s best left brushed under the carpet.

As the club chairman rightly pointed out at the last fans forum, it wouldn’t be Hereford if everything ran smoothly, and back-to-back defeats in midweek mean that the battle against relegation is still very much on. However, an impartial observer would still see Hereford as being in the strongest position of any club in the bottom six, and to fail to finish above four of their fellow strugglers given the position those three wins on the bounce recently left them in would take a complete tailing-off in form.

It’s another short recovery time between games of course, but as Aaron Downes rightly says, highlighting such things merely creates a culture of excuses. With multiple changes made to each starting line-up in midweek, there should still be enough freshness to be competitive here.

This one’s a battle between two phoenix clubs who in recent years lost their surnames as a result of terminal financial problems. United and Town are now both truncated ‘FCs’ as newly-formed clubs.

Newly promoted Macclesfield emulated Hereford in shooting up the lower leagues (after previous incarnation Macclesfield Town went pop in 2020), and cantered into the National League North in winning the Northern Premier last season, a good few weeks before the end of the season.

Robbie Savage was at the helm for that promotion, before leaving for Nailsworth’s Forest Green Rovers, with Laurent Mendy, Tre Pemberton, and Neil Kengni going with him to the Stroud Valleys. Those losses could have been felt deeply. That hasn’t really been the case though, as like Merthyr they’ve adapted quickly and well to the NLN, and sit in sixth place, enjoying an unlikely run deep into the FA Cup’s latter stages to boot.

They’ve won six of their last ten games, they’re consistent and ultra solid at home, and following that Cup run they have games in hand that would seem to make it unlikely that they’ll miss out on play-off participation this season.

They’re a club of a similar size, shape and feel to Hereford, and one that’s recently been through the same existential upheaval. With the right person in charge at Edgar Street, there’s no reason why Hereford can’t operate towards the top of the division with Macc next season (if the latter don’t go up).

However, we’re made to believe that it’s all too difficult when competing against tiny clubs with generous benefactors, which goes back to that culture of excuses. Paul Caddis was a bit guilty of that and now has the full-time set-up he craved at Kings Lynn; Aaron Downes isn’t guilty of that and seems to be prepared to make the best of reality, and to feel that maybe with a bit of creative thinking a club as big as the one he’s arrived at can and should be doing better in terms of finding a formula that works at what is quite a low level of football.

For the Silkmen, centre forward Danny Elliott scored 40 in 50 last season at a level lower, and got a goal every other game for Boston at this level a few seasons ago. He’d scored 11 in 20 before getting injured in January, and is out for the rest of the season. They’ve found a way to keep winning without him though, and that’s despite the additional loss of D’Mani Mellor. He’d been matching Danny Elliott in terms of goals scored, but he too has now seen the green, green grass of the Stroud Valleys as being where his future lies. If you’re with Ecotricity and have an electric car, every time you drive anywhere you’re basically paying for new FGR strikers.

Midfielders Justin Johnson and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts are familiar players from their time with Chorley and Curzon Ashton respectively, with Johnson in particular being Chorley’s star man a couple of seasons ago.

I said ahead of the South Shields game that Freddy Willcox was almost guaranteed to be the best defensive midfielder on the pitch. If he starts again here he’s got stiff competition in that respect from Macc captain Paul Dawson, a properly good player at this level and someone Aaron Skinner will know from Bamber Bridge.

They lost 3-0 at Telford on Tuesday, with new signings Theo Chapman and Angola Popoola making their debuts as subs. One or both may start here. Popoola has already done well with Marine and Chorley on loan from Accrington this season, and Chapman has come in from Scarborough.

After the start at Alfreton, it may be best to just see out the first 11 seconds successfully and take it from there. If it’s still 0-0 after 30 seconds that’s something to build on.

News round up

National League North's basement club Leamington have signed striker Tyrone Lewthwaite as manager Scott Easterlow’s first addition.

The 25-year-old joins from step three Bromsgrove Sporting after scoring five goals in 12 games, having previously hit double figures for Corby Town. Lewthwaite, who has experience across non-league and youth spells with Watford and Rotherham, adds attacking options as Leamington look to strengthen.

Kidderminster Harriers have signed midfielder Brayden Johnson on loan from Middlesbrough until the end of the season.

Boss Adam Murray, who previously managed Johnson at Eastbourne Borough, described him as an “all-round midfielder” who can “do a bit of everything”. The teenager is expected to add energy to the squad and will wear the number 25 shirt at Aggborough.

Some Merthyr Town supporters are opting to fly to their next game - more than 300 miles away in the North East. The South Wales play-off hopefuls make their mammoth trip to high-flying South Shields on Saturday, with a return journey by car taking 11 hours to cover the 624 miles.

Peterborough Sports goalkeeper Sam Edwards has been selected to represent Great Britain Under-23s at the Deaf World Cup in Serbia this May.

However, the squad must self-fund their participation, with Edwards aiming to raise £2,000 to cover costs. The club has urged supporters to help the keeper as he looks to represent both club and country on the international stage. The GoFundMe is here.

AFC Telford United striker Matty Stenson may have to play through pain for the rest of the season as the club push for the play-offs.

The Bucks’ record goalscorer has missed the last four games with a toe injury, with scans revealing an overuse issue. Boss Kevin Wilkin said Stenson is a “big, big player” and could return soon, even if it means managing the injury with painkillers.

National League North club announce new manager after sacking

Curzon Ashton have moved quickly to appoint Adam Barton as their new manager following the departure of Mark Bradshaw.

The National League North side confirmed Barton’s promotion less than 24 hours after parting company with Bradshaw, who was dismissed amid a poor run of form.

Barton, a long-serving player at the club, has made more than 200 appearances since joining from Farsley Celtic in 2021 and now steps into his first managerial role.

He will be assisted by fellow defender Jordan Richards, who has also played over 200 times for the club after arriving from Farsley, with the pair taking charge for the remainder of the season while continuing as players.

Curzon said Barton’s experience across the EFL and non-league, along with his connection to the club, made him a “natural candidate” for the role.

An unchanged backroom staff will support the new management team.

Chairman Jim Newall said the club were confident in promoting from within, adding: “We are delighted to promote Adam and Jordan… both men have given so much to the club as players and we believe they are more than capable of stepping up into management and driving us forward.

“We recognise that this season hasn’t gone as well as we would have hoped and we want to give Adam and Jordan adequate time to put their stamp on the team and prepare for next season.”

The appointment follows a difficult spell for Curzon, who are without a win in six matches and sit 16th win 46 points from 39 games.

Supporters will have the chance to hear from Barton at a planned fans’ forum ahead of next week’s training session, with further details to be confirmed after Saturday’s trip to King’s Lynn Town.

NEWS | Two popular Hereford United strikers from the 1990's diagnosed with dementia

Neil Grayson and Peter Heritage

Two former Hereford United strikers from the 1990's have sadly been diagnosed with dementia.

Stafford Rangers earlier this month hosted a reunion for former player Neil Grayson who has been diagnosed with dementia recently. 

The reunion celebrated 20 years since Stafford were promoted to what is now the National League. Grayson played for Hereford during the 1997/1998 season, but the clubs financial woes saw him sold to Cheltenham. He was still playing and scoring in the National League for Stafford when he was 43.

Peter Heritage was signed by Colin Addison from Gillingham in early 1991 and "The Wing Commander" formed a striking partnership with Simon Brain. Heritage has been diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia and is currently being looked after at a care home in Sussex.

Downes gives blunt assessment of fatal first half at Alfreton

Aaron Downes admitted Hereford’s first-half performance “let them down” but insisted his side deserved something after a spirited second-half fightback in their 2-1 defeat at Alfreton Town.

The Bulls found themselves with a mountain to climb after a disastrous start, conceding inside 11 seconds before falling two goals behind before the break.

And while Downes was encouraged by the response after half-time, he was clear where the game was lost.

"Let's be honest, the first half was the let down for us tonight," he told the media after the match.

"The boys know in no uncertain terms that in order to win football matches, we have to do a little bit more than we did in the first half, both on and off the ball.

"That was the disappointing thing for me tonight.

"I do know we've come a long way and we've picked up a lot of points recently so I still think we're in a good place.

"But at the same time, when we're conceding two goals the way we did, we're giving ourselves a bit of a mountain to climb really."

Hereford improved significantly after the interval, dominating large spells and creating a host of chances as they pushed for a way back into the contest against an Alfreton side fighting for their lives at the foot of the table.

But George Munday pulled a goal back and the Bulls came close on several occasions, including a dramatic late clearance off the line that denied them an equaliser.

Downes felt that pressure and intent should have been rewarded.

“I think towards the end we probably deserved something with the amount of chances and pressure we put on,” he said.

The Aussie, now into his fifth week as Bulls boss, added: “We had one cleared off the line. We had one, two or three flash across the front.

"We've definitely done everything we could to try and get something back and get the game back and get at least a draw out of the game.

"But it wasn't to be. We left too much of a mountain to climb with that first 20 minutes, half an hour."

Despite the defeat, Downes pointed to the team’s recent form and overall progress, insisting they remain in a positive place heading into the next test in a relentless run of fixtures.

Hereford now travel to Macclesfield on Saturday before they complete their run of five fixtures in 12 days with Spennymoor Town at Edgar Street on Tuesday.

Thursday was another chance for the Bulls to leave the relegation zone behind, as a point would have been enough to overtake Oxford City, but they still have up to five games in hand on the sides above them.

Match Report: Bulls fall to back-to-back defeats despite a spirited second half display

After the defeat two days ago at the hands of league leaders AFC Fylde the Bulls played their third game in six days when they travelled on Thursday night to Derbyshire in a relegation six-pointer to take on an Alfreton Town side winless in their last five outings following Tuesday nights 2-1 defeat at Southport. This was the third attempt getting this fixture played due to the previous two being postponed due to a frozen pitch and waterlogged pitch respectively. The previous Thursday night games for Hereford following Tuesday and proceeding Saturday games being in the Midland Football League Premier back in the 2015/16 season.

It was the same side that beat South Shields with there six changes from Tuesday night with Aaron Skinner, Lawson D'Ath, George Munday, Cormac Daly, Keziah Martin and Kyle Howkins coming into the starting XI with Matt Preston, Mikey Lane, Andy Williams, Justin Donawa, Joseph James and Harry Tustin dropping to the bench. Former Bulls loanee Sam Osborne wasn't in the squad for the Reds.

It was a disastrous start for the Bulls with eleven seconds in when a long ball from Alfreton's on loan Burnley keeper Charlie Casper wasn't dealt with by Aaron Skinner and Kyle Howkins allowing Lewis Salmon to nip in and calmly slot the ball into the bottom right corner to give the hosts the lead.

Hereford's first chance came on 2 minutes from a free kick on the edge of the box, Harrison Sohna’s curling left footed shot was comfortably saved by Charlie Casper.

Lawson D'Ath had the next effort for the Bulls with a rasping left foot drive which was again collected by Charlie Casper. 

The hosts had a couple of long throws on the right deep inside the Hereford half which we're launched into the box by Adam Lund fortunately coming to nothing, tactically slowing the game down at every opportunity.

The lively Cormac Daly went on a good run down the left flank, driving into the box before attempting to cross to the front post but Adam Lund got his body in the way.

The Bulls worked the ball well from left to right across the box with Cormac Daly on the left playing the ball to Lawson D'Ath who fed the ball out to Harrison Sohna who shifted the ball onto his left foot inside the area but his shot fizzed high over the bar with 15 minutes gone.

Alfreton's Nathan Newall put in a strong needless challenge by the left touchline on Cormac Daly, forcing him over the advertising hoardings which saw him receiving a yellow card. With the ball going out of play the challenge was totally unnecessary and dangerous, a scuffle ensued. 

 

George Munday then had an effort which appeared to take a nick off Max Hunt on its way to looping over the bar but the referee gave a goal kick.

23 minutes the hosts Max Hunt from about 30 yards out had a half volley which fizzed over the bar.

Alfreton had another long throw from the left which was again launched into the box by Adam Lund which was headed away on the penalty spot by Keenan Quansah but only as far as the Reds’ Kieran Freeman on the edge of the box who's shot was well blocked by Quansah before finding George Cantrill who played the ball across to the left to Nathan Newell who's thunderous left foot drive crashed off the crossbar.

Harrison Sohna played a great ball out to Cormac Daly on the left, he cut in on his right but his effort was comfortably saved by Charlie Casper.

The Bulls we're starting to move the ball around better on the half hour mark with Lawson D'Ath having an effort on the edge of the box with his right which was collected by Charlie Casper.

Alfreton had another long throw on the right, Adam Lund played a one-two to Nathan Newell before he found Gerry McDonagh who's effort was brilliantly cleared off the line by Keenan Quansah before Nathan Newell had a left footed drive from the edge of the box which Theo Richardson got fingertips to tip over the bar for a corner.

From the resulting corner on left, Bayley McCann pumped the ball to the back post finding Gerry McDonagh who’s cushioned header to the edge of the box found Billy Fewster who laid the ball off to Kai Lissimore who had time to pick his spot and curl the ball into the top left corner to double the Reds lead on 36 minutes.

The hosts had a free kick on the edge of the box on the left, curled right footed by Billy Fewster which bounced just in front of Theo Richardson before he collected.

With 2 minutes of additional time announced, the final chance of the half come from the hosts who had a corner on the right, Kieran Freeman swung the ball in right footed which was headed away by Keenan Quansah.

The 2-0 scoreline was on the balance of play deserved for the hosts at the break who we're more physical and aggressive, the Bulls not being able to deal with their dangers facing an uphill task in the second half.

HT Alfreton Town 2-0 Hereford FC

The hosts had a free kick to start the second half near the left byline, Kieran Freeman’s ball to the back post finding Billy Fewster who's effort whistled just wide of the right post.

Three minutes in they had a corner on the left, Kieran Freeman’s delivery to the far post headed high in the air by Freddy Willcox before the ball was collected by Theo Richardson.

Hereford’s Cormac Daly fizzed a good cross low to the front post which found George Munday who's flicked effort just whistled wide of the right post which was the Bulls’ first chance of the second period before George Cantrill found Bayley McCann on the left inside the box who whipped a low cross across the face of the box which Theo Richardson managed to tip away.

The Reds then had half a shout for a penalty with Kieran Freeman going down inside the box under the challenge of George Munday which we're waved away.

Freeman was involved again shortly afterwards when he delivered a free kick from the left which was whipped in just evading Max Hunt at the back post and the ball tricked out for a goal kick.

Lewis Hudson sent in a lofted high cross from the left into the box but it was comfortably collected by Charlie Casper before on 62 minutes substitute Mikey Lane had an effort which whistled past the right post.

6 minutes later Hereford pulled a goal back after Kyle Howkins’ long ball was latched onto by George Munday, he advanced into the box with Charlie Casper coming out to try to narrow the angle but Munday shifted the ball onto his left foot taking it round him, with Casper out of his goal he slotted into an empty net despite the Burnley youngester putting him under pressure with a sliding challenge.

Lewis Salmon had an effort from the left which was collected by Theo Richardson.

The Bulls had a corner on the right, Harrison Sohna delivered to the back post which Lewis Hudson rose above Kieran Freeman but his header was collected by Charlie Casper.

Now with our tails up on the search for an equaliser we we're the side on the front foot with Alfreton sitting deep, a corner on the right which Harrison Sohna played into the front post but Kyle Howkins just couldn't get any meaningful contact on the delivery.

The Bulls we're awarded a free kick midway inside the half on the left on around 77 minutes, Harrison Sohna clipped the ball into the back post but Kyle Howkins’ header looped just wide. Freddy Willcox then had a lifted effort which was collected by Charlie Casper. 

With four minutes of regular time remaining, the Bulls continued in the search of an equaliser which on the second half display would of been deserved. Cormac Daly cut in from the left to the edge of the box before flashing his right footed shot over the bar.

The board went up to signal four minutes of additional time, Lawson D'Ath threaded a neat ball through to George Munday who had beaten Charlie Casper taking the ball round him and putting his effort goalwards but Max Hunt superbly cleared off the line.

Mikey Lane did well to play the ball into Harrison Sohna but his ball missed Lawson D'Ath and was cleared by the hosts.

Deep into additional time the Bulls we're awarded a free kick on the right touchline, Theo Richardson made his way into the box for virtually the last kick off the game in a attempt for a equaliser at the death. Harrison Sohna delivered towards the front post finding Andy Williams who tried to flick the ball on which looped high up in the air which was scrambled clear by the Reds defence before the full time whistle.

A spirited and better second half display by Hereford which was dominated by the Bulls and could of seen us snatch a point but unfortunately it wasn't to be and the first half cost us.

FT Alfreton Town 2-1 Hereford FC 

Goal scored by George Munday.

Hereford FC Starting XI:- 1 Theo Richardson, 2 Aaron Skinner, 3 Lewis Hudson ©️, 6 Lawson D'Ath, 8 Harrison Sohna, 14 Keenan Quansah, 16 George Munday, 18 Cormac Daly, 20 Keziah Martin, 26 Freddy Willcox and 28 Kyle Howkins.

Substitutes:- 5 Matt Preston, 9 Mikey Lane, 10 Andy Williams, 12 Justin Donawa, 21 Ollie Lewis, 25 Joseph James and 27 Harry Tustin.

Following on from Tuesday night's defeat to leaders AFC Fylde with only a day between that game and tonights in Derbyshire Hereford fell to back-to-back defeats in the relegation six-pointer and our third under the stewardship of Aaron Downes and Harry Pell. The wait for a Hereford FC win at the Solana Stadium goes on without one in now seven National League North visits with the two previous victories coming when Hereford United visited North Street back in August 2012 claiming a 3-0 victory in the Blue Square Bet Premier and all the way back in October 2005 when the Bulls we're victorious after a replay which went to penalties in the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup.

The games continue to come at pace with our fourth game in eight days when we're back on the road in two days time with a visit to the Leasing.com Stadium to take on Macclesfield FC which will be the first visit since October 2013 when Hereford United suffered a 1-0 defeat against the Silkmen in the Skrill Premier.

Words by Sam Cummins

Aaron Downes gives verdict on 2-1 defeat at Alfreton - listen in full

Hereford manager Aaron Downes has spoken to the media after Thursday's 2-1 defeat at Alfreton Town.

Hereford conceded after just 11 seconds and were two goals down at the break, but George Munday did net in the second half and chances in the dying stages of the game could have seen the Bulls come away with a valuable point.

Press play to listen to the manager's interview in full.

Bulls fall to second defeat of the week as Alfreton fight for their lives

Hereford have lost their third game of Aaron Downes's reign, being beaten 2-1 in the relegation dog-fight at Alfreton Town this evening.

The Enterprise National League North clash got off to a horrendous start as Kyle Howkins and Aaron Skinner failed to deal with cross, leaving Lewis Salmon to open the scoring with just 11 seconds on the clock.

After a long throw wasn't dealt with, Nathan Newell rattled the crossbar with a rasping shot, and then forced Theo Richardson into a fingertip save, but it was in the 36th minute the hosts doubled their lead. Kai Lissimore got his name on the scoresheet when Hereford didn't effectively deal with a corner.

While they created chances in the first half, after the break, Hereford upped the ante and tried to find a way back into the game. With 68 minutes on the clock, George Munday latched onto a long ball over the top, rounded the keeper and slotted the ball home to reduce the deficit.

The Bulls continued to push for the elusive equaliser but couldn't find a way to secure the point needed to get themselves out of the relegation zone. For Alfreton, fighting for their lives in 23rd, the win sees them now just four points from safety.

Hereford face uphill task in second half

Poor defending is costing Hereford at Alfreton this evening as Aaron Downes' side trail 2-0 at the break.

The National League North tie got off to the worst possible start as the Reds were able to take advantage of a defensive error after just 11 seconds, with Lewis Salmon putting his side ahead.

Kai Lissimore added a second in the 36th minute after the Bulls failed to deal with a set piece.

While Hereford have created some chances, but being caught out in defence is costing them, with Nathan Newall also having a fierce effort denied by the cross bar after a long throw caused problems.

National League North club sacks manager after poor run

Curzon Ashton have sacked head coach Mark Bradshaw following a poor run of form in National League North.

The Nash confirmed on Wednesday that Bradshaw had been relieved of his duties, ending his short spell in charge.

In a brief statement, the club said: “Curzon Ashton Football Club can this afternoon announce that Mark Bradshaw has been relieved of his role as Head Coach of the first team.

“The club would like to place on record our thanks to Mark for all his efforts and commitment to the club over the last few seasons and wish him well going forward.”

A further update on a replacement is expected in due course.

Bradshaw took charge in June 2025 following the departure of long-serving boss Craig Mahon, who left after five years to take up the head coach role at AFC Fylde.

While Bradshaw has been involved with Curzon in various roles over the past two decades, results this season have failed to match last year’s campaign, when Curzon finished eighth - with goal difference seeing them miss out on a play-off place.

They currently sit 16th in National League North with 46 points from 39 games and are without a win in six matches.

Recent results have included heavy defeats to promotion-chasing sides, losing 5-1 at Fylde and 4-1 at Spennymoor Town, while they were also held to a 2-2 draw by relegation-threatened Oxford City.

Curzon are the latest National League North club to change managers mid-season, with Hereford, King's Lynn and Spennymoor also making changes over the last six weeks.
