VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Hereford United manager Richard O'Kelly told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"Today was an excellent performance, it was the best since I've been here.
"I'm immensely proud of the players and how they performed today. It's just that little bit of luck that makes a difference.
"James McQuilkin and Richard Peniket have come in and done themselves no harm at all. We have a group of players who are all pushing each other."
