Hereford lead 1-0 in the sunshine at Redditch United, thanks to a low shot from Lassana Mendes.
In a half of open football but few chances on Redditch’s all-weather pitch, Hereford also tested the Reds when Stanley Anaebonam broke through, only to be stopped by goalkeeper Harrison. They also piled on the pressure as the half came to a close.
Hereford have four trialists on the bench, so Paul Caddis may be tempted to rotate personnel in the second half.
