Brewers set up Cod Army clash

Burton overcame Skrill Premier outfit Hereford 2-0 to clinch a second round trip to League Two rivals Fleetwood.Adam McGurk gave Burton the lead with his seventh of the season and victory was sealed by youngster Matty Palmer's first career goal late on.The Bulls quickly found themselves under pressure and had a lucky escape when Phil Edwards' overhead kick crashed against the crossbar in the sixth minute.The visitors recovered to enjoy a spell of probing pressure before the unmarked McGurk wasted a chance to give Burton the lead when he shot wastefully high from 12 yards in the 35th minute.The Northern Irishman quickly atoned by striding onto Chris Hussey's corner kick and steering a lovely left-foot shot high into a corner of the net two minutes later.With Hereford briefly under siege, McGurk found the sidenetting as another chance beckoned.The visitors began the second half with substitute keeper Daniel Lloyd-Weston on in place of the injured Rhys Evans.But it was opposite number Dean Lyness who found himself tested by a low drive from Frankie Artus, who also went close with a 25-yard effort in the 72nd minute.Hereford's brave fight was finally ended when Palmer lashed home a left-foot shot from 20 yards in the 84th minute.

Bowman brace sends Bulls through

Hereford striker Ryan Bowman netted twice to fire non-league Hereford into the FA Cup second round against League One Shrewsbury and ruin boss Graham Turner's return to Edgar Street.Turner spent 15 years at Hereford as owner, chairman and manager before leaving for Shrewsbury in 2010 and Bowman's double made sure his first trip back ended on a losing note.The Bulls got off to a dream start when Will Evans poked home Chris Todd's knock down but had a lucky escape four minutes later when Marvin Morgan hit the post for the Shrews.Bowman unleashed a 25-yard drive to make it 2-0 in the 12th minute before Luke Summerfield pulled one back for Shrewsbury with a delightful curling free-kick.But that was all the Shrews could manage with Bowman wrapping up the win for Hereford from the spot after being tripped himself by Lee Collins with 17 minutes left.
