A new low as Hereford are hammered 5-1

Considering Hereford put in such an abject performance on Tuesday, you would think they would have bounced back strongly today. But instead, the Bulls were hammered 5-1 by Altrincham.

Yes, Hereford were well on top prior to the first goal, but football is about taking your chances and keeping it tight at the back. And the Bulls failed miserably on both counts today. The home side meanwhile were clinical up top and punished Hereford for the mistakes they made.

Hereford went close through Tommy O'Sullivan and Jason Pope in the first half and were playing well. But Altrincham punished them for their missed opportunities by striking twice in as many minutes through Tom Hannigan and Jordan Hulme.

And the second half got worse with Hulme scoring a second in the 57th minute; his shot somehow going under the normally reliable Brandon Hall.

Peter Vincenti gave Hereford brief hope bu getting on the scoresheet six minutes later, but sadly the Bulls didn't have enough goal threat to truly take the game to their hosts. A mistake from Josh Gowling was punished by Hulme for his hat-trick, with Shaun Densmore adding a fifth. 

Post-match reaction will be up shortly, while a full match report with pictures will be uploaded later.
