Mike Symons Scored Two Of Hereford's Goals Last Saturday |
Last Saturday Hereford scored five goals in the first half playing towards the Blackfriars End.
BN asked Hereford historian Ron Parrott if this was another record for a 'Hereford' club.
"What a cracking question!" said Ron.
" I’ve really had to dig into my records
for this one and yes, you’re right........ this is yet another record
for Hereford FC! Never before have Hereford been 5-0 up at half-time
with the score remaining the same after 90 minutes.
"However, I can come really close to it because in 1955/56 we were
6-1 up at half-time against Dartford in a Southern League fixture in a
game that also ended 6-1.
"Over the course of our history, there have
actually been 17 occasions when we have scored 5 or more goals in the
first half but on 16 of these occasions we have gone on to add more
after the break."
