Poor start to New Year for Bulls

Exeter City took the points this afternoon against a Hereford United side that seemed to be unable to match the physical strength of the Grecians.

In a game, which was spoilt both by the referee and the weather, the Bulls were perhaps unlucky with the two Exeter goals, the first an own-goal from Stansfield and the second from a free kick after Graham Hyde was judged to have fouled an Exeter forward. Stansfield replied with a simple tap-in after the Grecian goalie had failed to collect a ball.

But throughout most of the game Exeter looked sharper and quicker to the ball and probably deserved the points.

Adam Stansfield, interviewed on BBC H&W after the game, thought the conditions - strong wind and a soggy pitch - suited their style of play.

"We like to pass it and try and play it more on the floor. Nine times out of ten against other teams we would win," said the Hereford United striker.
