The Lilywhites are holding their own as they try to secure their place in the FA Cup first round proper.
It's goalless at the break, with a well-organised National League Rochdale proving a tricky test for Paul Caddis's side. They've had the best in the way of chances, but Hereford are Remaining resolute despite obviously missing Jordan Lyden in midfield.
By the 25th minute, the Bulls had already seen a Harvey Gilmour goal ruled out for offside, a Ryan East shot saved by Curtis Pond and Jimmy Keohane's strike hit the stanchion.
But Adam Rooney had a great chance to break the deadlock, getting onto the end of a long ball from defence – flicked on by Ethan Freemantle – but the back-peddling keeper just managed to tip his chipped volley over the bar.
Ten minutes from half time, Ceesay leapt to try and connect with a cross from the right but was agonisingly short as he tried to head home.
No one can deny how hard the Whites are working to keep Rochdale at bay and try to get on top, with Pond pulling off another decent save to deny Cian Hayes minutes before the end of the first half. A big second half awaits.
