The Cherries winning run came to an end at Edgar Street against a spirited Hereford side. Steve Fletcher was on target for Bournemouth, but the side slipped to defeat after a late winner for the home side. Despite the loss, other results meant that the four point cushion at the top remains intact.
Marvin Bartley started the game with a protective cast on his hand, he replaced Josh McQuoid in the only chance from Saturday. A fifth of the crowd were from Bournemouth and they saw an even start, with Hereford making the best of the early chances. Brett Pitman was the Cherries main danger man, and he came close in the latter stages of the half, being denied from a tight angle.
Hereford started the second half bright and took the lead through Marc Pugh. This saw the game come alive with Bournemouth putting on the pressure. The equaliser came after good work from substitute Alan Connell put Fletcher in and he finished with a smart shot in to the corner.
It was Hereford though who had the final word thanks to an excellent finish from Pugh who sent in an unstoppable shot to beat the outstanding Shwan Jalal. On the balance of play, it was deserved win for the hosts.
