Maamria Late Show Gives Borough Hope
Nationwide Conference Play Off Semi Final 1st Leg
Stevenage Borough 1 Hereford 1
A Dino Maamria goal 3 minutes from time rescued Stevenage Borough in front of a crowd of over 6,500 at Broadhall Way. Maamria rose to head in Jon Brady's cross and keep the tie very much alive. Earlier Hereford substitue Daniel Carey-Bertram had fired the Bulls in front with a 30 yard stunner. In a scrappy affair Borough thoroughly desrved their share of the spoils and will go to Edgar Street on Friday in the knowledge that a repeat of their league win there earlier in the season will book them a place in the final.

Subs Not Used: Westhead, Quinn, Laker, Hocking.
Booked: Elding.
Goals: Maamria 87.
Hereford: Mawson, Green, Tretton, Mkandawire, Robinson, Travis (Daniel Williams 80), Stanley, Pitman, Purdie, Mills (Carey-Bertram 66), Stansfield (James 90).
Subs Not Used: Leroy Williams, Scott.
Goals: Carey-Bertram 74.
Att: 6,520.
Ref: R Lee (Essex).
