Sunday, January 27, 2002


HEREFORD United coach Phil Robinson was satisfied with yesterday's 1-1 draw at Southport.

The Nationwide Conference game was one of just five to beat the weather yesterday and Robinson told the Non-League Paper: "Conditions were very difficult today, and Haig Avenue is one of the better pitches in the league, too."

"This is our eighth match unbeaten and we want to make sure we finish in the top half of the table."

He also commented that Hereford hope to stay full-time despite the poor financial state at the club, as they youngsters were benefitting greatly from the setup.

Southport boss Phil Wilson said: "I never criticise referees, even when they influence the result," as the home side had three penalty appeals turned down. "We played really well in the second half but we didn't get the breaks and gave away a silly goal. But it was good attacking football and exciting to watch."
