Below is a report on this afternoon's friendly with Bristol Rovers - taken from their official site - which Hereford won 2-1:
A Bristol Rovers side containing a mix of first team players, youth team players and trialists went down by the odd goal in three at Hereford United this afternoon.
An Andy Ferrell strike and a Jon Bass own goal gave the home side a 2-0 lead, before Jamie Forrester scored a late consolation after also missing a penalty.
Rovers goalkeeper Martin Horsell made two comfortable saves early on, before his side created their first opportunity from a Paul Trollope corner. The Hereford defence failed to get the ball clear from the set-piece, and Lewis Powell's shot was cleared away off the line.
Horsell made a fine save from a close-range header, before Rovers went close again ahead of the interval with Powell shooting over the bar, Forrester seeing a low drive saved by Craig Mawson, and Portuguese trialist Diego blasting over the target from just inside the penalty box.
Rovers went behind just ten minutes into the second half after a good ball into the box from the right found Ferrell unmarked at the back post, and the Hereford midfielder finished well with a curling effort into the top corner past a diving Horsell.
Four minutes later Rovers should have been back on level terms, after being awarded a penalty for a foul on Powell in the box. But Forrester was to be thwarted from 12 yards, at Mawson dived low to his left to push the attempt away to safety.
Almost immediately after the spot-kick Rovers fell further behind, as Bass, facing his own goal, could only touch a long ball forward from Hereford past Horsell and into the back of his own net.
Forrester struck the woodwork with a header as Rovers pressed to get back into the game, and the striker was unfortunate again as Mawson pushed a fine low shot around the post for a corner.
The former Hull City striker wasn't to be denied at the death however, as he collected the ball in the box before turning and shooting past Mawson to half the home side's advantage.
