Waide Fairhurst’s second half goal earned The Bulls a valuable point at home to Northampton Town tonight after Andy Holt gave The Cobblers the lead just after the break.
Stuart Fleetwood came close to opening the scoring for The Bulls before Holt’s header gave the away side the lead. Fairhurst was on hand again for Hereford though, smashing in from close range to earn Pitman’s boys the point. The Cobblers hit the post late-on but both sides will be fairly happy with the point.
The result means The Bulls are now six points from the relegation zone, a dramatic improvement from when they were struggling at the foot of the table at the turn of the year. However, Pitman knows his team are far from safe and the team will need more positive results if they are to starve off the threat of the drop this season.
