MANSFIELD TOWN 0-1 HEREFORD UNITED

Man of the match Wayne Brown saved a last minute penalty to keep Hereford’s promotion push on track with a win away at struggling Mansfield Town on tuesday night.

The bulls struck the winner in the seventh minute when Clint Easton hit home a curling free kick. The home side had numerous efforts saved by the outstanding Wayne Brown, but when skipper Ben Smith fouled Town striker Michael Boulding the Bulls had looked to have wasted two points.

Brown saved low to his left and the win means that Hereford move into the automatic promotion places ahead of Darlington as they were held by Bulls’ rivals Shrewsbury Town.
