Hereford's four-match winning run came to an end as Forest Green battled to a point in a 1-1 draw at Edgar Street.

The visitors' Neil Grayson levelled just a minute after John Grant had opened the scoring for the Bulls.

Daniel Williams had the first chance for Hereford just 24 seconds into the game but his weak effort was collected easily by Steve Perrin.

The hosts had the better of the opening exchanges and Matthew Clarke had another good opportunity but his effort was deflected for a corner by Darren Jones.

Howver, the best chance of the first half fell to the visitors' leading scorer Kayode Odejayi after 40 minutes, only for him to head Matthew Russell's cross narrowly wide.

Hereford then started to take control again and on the hour Steve Guinan unleashed a vicious effort that hit the woodwork from 25 yards.

The Bulls' pressure finally told when Grant curled a delightful shot past Perrin to give his side the lead after 71 minutes.

But the advantage lasted only a minute when Grayson headed the equaliser from Steve Cowe's inviting right-wing cross.
