Bulls fight back to claim point

01 January 2011 19:00
Hereford twice fought back to salvage a 2-2 draw against a free-flowing Torquay side at Edgar Street. Following an entertaining opening, Torquay took the lead in the 25th minute when Eunan O'Kane latched on to the ball 12 yards out before rifling past Adam Bartlett into the roof of the net. Hereford rallied to draw level in the 31st minute when Stuart Fleetwood took advantage of a mix-up between Scott Bevan and Mark Ellis before netting from close range. But a minute before the break Torquay regained the lead when Elliot Benyon drove the ball past Bartlett after a shot by Ashley Hemmings had been blocked. Hereford, however, levelled again in the 66th minute when Mathieu Manset back-heeled the ball into the net after Bevan had dropped it in a goal mouth melee. Torquay's leading marksman Benyon went close to snatching a winner for the Gulls when he rifled the ball against the Hereford post late in the second half.
