​The Bulls came into the game following three consecutive wins. However, with all of those games coming inside a week boss Aaron Downes made six changes from the side that beat South Shields three days earlier. Matt Preston, Mikey Lane, Andy Williams, Justin Donawa, Joseph James and Harry Tustin all came in from the bench into the starting 11. The Coasters came into the game after moving top of the National League North and also top scorers with 90 goals in 37 matches. Fylde looked dangerous from the outset and marksman Danny Ormerod ghosted past marker Keenan Quansah before firing his effort inside the box wide. The visitors were ahead with just six minutes on the clock after Danny Mayor’s pass released Felipe Rodriguez-Gentile who drove his low effort past the goalkeeper. After their lightening start it took until the 21st minute for Fylde to test the Bulls goal again as Adam Lewis’ cross deflected towards goal and skipper Lewis Hudson was forced to hack the ball off the goal-line. Five minutes later Fylde doubled their lead when first goal provider Mayor turned scorer after cutting inside the box and firing into the net.

After his set-piece heroics three days earlier Sohna tested his ability again on 53 minutes with a looping effort which flew just wide of the top corner. The Coasters remainder dangerous and Ormerod drifted between the two central defenders but failed to connect with his subsequent shot which was easily saved by Richardson. Thomas was rewarded for his impressive performance and after finding space inside the box, he guided home Fylde’s fourth on 62 minutes. The Bulls thought they had pulled a goal back seven minutes later through striker Lane, only for it to be ruled out. Visiting goalkeeper Zac Jones kicked the ball straight to Hereford and the ball was played into Lane to fire home, however the striker was judged to be off-side. Bulls’ substitute Cormac Daly had an immediate impact and his cross found Justin Donaway who pulled his effort inches wide of the bottom corner Hereford were rewarded for their efforts with a goal a minute from time after Lane foun
