It took a further 10 minutes for another Hereford chance as Mark Preece met a deep corner, only to head the ball over the goal. As Hereford pushed for the opening goal Preece had a couple of more chances but was unable to convert.
The final few minutes of the half saw Hereford have two further chances to open the score. The first fell to Joel Edwards but his rifled shot from just outside of the area took a deflection and went over the goal. The second chance fell to Mike Symons but his header was tipped away by the Bideford goalkeeper.
Half Time: Bideford 0-0 Hereford
The first chance of the second half fell to Bideford as they came close with around 10 minutes gone. A few minutes later Haysham's shot was saved by the goalkeeper.
As a quiet second half drew to a close Mills came close to scoring a late goal with just over 5 minutes left on the clock. Symons knocked the ball to John Mills, only for Mills to slice the ball over the goal.
