At the start of the day Long Itchington sat fifth in the league (30 pts) Hereford were tenth with three games in hand (16 pts), on paper it was going to be a tough battle.
Hereford started brightly and created some fantastic chances in the early stages. On 16 minutes Mylie Jordan put the Bulls 1-0 up with a great strike from just inside the box. Eight minutes later after Sheree Smith battled well in midfield to overturn the ball, Jordan doubled the tally to 2-0.
Hereford applied more pressure on their opponent's adding a third when Megan Boardman’s cross from the left hand side whistled across the goal, seemingly through the keeper for Tianna Chant to knock it in at the back post. With just over ten minutes remaining of the first half the game had slipped away from Long Itchington.

The second half saw Boardman replaced by Ava Morris. Throughout the second period Hereford dominated the game, rarely letting Long Itchington out of their own half.
Hereford created some great chances but the opponents keeper, who had a busy game did very well to keep the scoreline at 3-0.
At times it looked as if Jordan was going to get her hat-trick but it wasn’t to be.
A fantastic team effort from the Hereford Women today supported positively by the head coach Clive Powis and manager Malcolm Cowell who’s professionalism in running the Women’s team is clearly evident.
