Hereford win on penalties
Hereford had to play extra time against Scunthorpe this evening with the score 1-1 on 90 minutes. There were no more goals and the game went on to penalties which Hereford won 4-3.
The attendance at Hereford this evening of 1414 was higher than near neighbours Shrewsbury and Cheltenham who also had LDV games.
This report comes from a Scunthrope site:
Hereford won through to the second round of the LDV Vans Trophy with a thrilling 4-3 penalty shoot-out win over League Two high-flyers Scunthorpe at Edgar Street.
The first-round clash ended 1-1 after 90 minutes and following Craig Stanley's first-half opener for Graham Turner's Conference outfit and Steve Torpey's second-half equaliser there were no further goals in extra time.
Both sides created chances galore in a classic end-to-end cup tie, but Hereford's Daniel Carey-Bertram fired home the winning spot-kick after Jonathan Gould had brilliantly saved from Scunthorpe's Cleveland Taylor.
Stanley rocked Brian Laws' side just after half-an-hour when he found space enough to rifle home a right-foot shot from 20 yards.
Visiting striker Michael Rankine fired in two long-range efforts after the restart before Scunthorpe levelled in the 58th minute.
Tom Brighton swung in a corner and Iron fans favourite Torpey - in his first match of the season following a knee injury - rose to power home a header from close range.
