It’s goalless at half time with a much improved Hereford creating chances against Southport.
Alex Babos’ early effort went inches over the bar, Jordan Cranston’s long drive went inches wide, and Southport skipper Adam Anson almost scored an own goal after pressure from debutant Kian Ryley.
Southport grew in confidence as half time approached, but Paul Caddis will be pleased with the showing so far.
