Bulls go through on penalties

Hereford United went into the draw for the next round of the Northern area LDV after defeating Doncaster Rovers on penalties this evening.

This report is from the Teamtalk Doncaster site:

Hereford earned a 3-1 penalty shoot-out victory against Doncaster in the second round of the LDV Vans Trophy.

Other than Donny midfielder Michael McIndoe's superbly-executed 20-yard volley that screwed just over the crossbar, neither side found the momentum to justify a lead at the interval.

The same cannot be said after the restart as Rovers were rewarded for a bright start with the opening goal after 59 minutes. McIndoe's corner found Adriano Rigoglioso who let fly with a stunning volley that soared into the top right-hand corner of the net.

Danny Williams equalised for the hosts after 72 minutes with a crisp finish from just insist the penalty box.

Rovers though they had won it in extra-time when Ben Jackson was fouled by Mark Robinson inside the 18-yard box. McIndoe stepped up to take the spot-kick, but Craig Mawson made a fine save to his right.

Even though Rovers goalkeeper Michael Ingham saved two penalties in the shoot-out, David Morley, Nick Fenton and Rigoglioso all missed from the spot to give Lee Mills the opportunity to convert the match-winning spot-kick
