Caddis Scored At Edgar Street In 2012

Hereford's newly appointed manager Paul Caddis played for Swindon from August 2010 for two seasons.

And on February 18th 2012 Caddis was in the Swindon team for a league game at Edgar Street.

Swindon won the game 2-1 and Caddis scored one of their goals.




'United had held their own for the first half hour, but then pressed the self-destruct button. Adam Bartlett miskicked a routine clearance straight to Paul Benson who ran into the box and was tripped by Anthony just as he seemed sure to score. There could be no complaint about the penalty award, and Paul Caddis put away the 38th minute spot kick with ease.' 

Earlier that season the two teams had drawn 3-3 at Swindon. It was a game of two halves with Swindon leading 2-0 at the break.

A look back to the second half on October 8th 2011 and Caddis was mentioned. 

'Harry Pell was introduced after the break in place of Lunt but the first twenty minutes of the second period produced little of interest from either side. A cross from the left by Leslie was headed back across goal by Barkhuizen and from the half clearance Pell sent a header just over the bar. Swindon seemed to be happy to let the clock tick away and when Caddis decided to take an unnecessary lie down on the grass near the dugouts, Gary Peters – who had moved down from the stand – was prompted to have a few words in his ear about wasting time.
 

On 65 minutes The Bulls made a double swap bringing on Arquin for the hard working Elder and Winnall for Clist. From the goal kick, Barkhuizen broke down the right and cut into the box before sending a shot into the top left hand corner of the net.


Less than ten minutes later, The Bulls were level. Caddis fouled Heath on the left and Steve Leslie curled the free kick onto the head of Arquin who glanced the ball into the far corner of the goal with fifteen minutes remaining.


Buoyed by the goals, The Bulls went in search of victory but were caught out when Lukas Magera crossed from the left to find Simon Ferry unmarked in the box and he fired home from close range. With just over ten minutes left on the clock it was a cruel blow to the resurgent visitors but it seems the Peters inspired Bulls were not for submitting. Heath’s run down left was checked by a foul from Magera and when Sam Winnall clipped the free kick in to the near post, Harry Pell’ glancing header went in at the back post to earn United a well earned share of the points. The equaliser came in the ninetieth minute that was perfect to send the 251 Bulls in the crowd of 7456 away in good spirits.'
