TWO quick-fire Yeovil goals midway through the first period found the Bulls trailing 2-0 at the interval at Edgar Street in their league 1 clash.

Hereford forced the first opening inside the first minute.

Simon Johnson’s free-kick was flicked on by Sam Oji just beyond the reach of Moses Ashikodi.

Hereford continued to produce some neat build-up play without finding the final pass which might have produced danger.

It was the visitors who had the next real effort on goal when a header from Terry Skiverton following a Terrell Forbes cross flew wide.

Shortly afterwards, Samson was able to watch, untroubled, as Keiran Murtagh’s cross flashed a couple of yards off target.

The Glovers then scored twice in three minutes to establish firm control.

On 19 minutes, Danny Schofield’s shot from the edge of the area deflected off a Hereford player and went into the net off a post.

Then, a Johnson pass was picked off in midfield and Aidan Downes raced past Robbie Threlfall on the right before delivering a cross which Paul Warne rifled in at the near post.

Hereford forced five corners as they attempted to get back into the game but were unable to find a way to trouble keeper Asmir Begovic.

Samson, however, did have an anxious moment just before the break when Murtagh’s fierce drive screamed across goal and wide.
