Hereford United captain Tony James was relieved to help his team stay in the title hunt with a narrow 1-0 win at home to Accrington Stanley.
The Bulls won for the fourth consecutive game and kept a fourth straight clean sheet, with James' late penalty enough to see off the Reds at Edgar Street.
Afterwards, James told BBC Hereford & Worcester: "To go four games on the bounce not conceding a goal, scoring freely away from home and nicking wins at home, it's gone really well.
"We did not play as freely as we have been, but we had to grind it out. At this stage of the season a win is what we need."
United boss Graham Turner was also pleased with a second successive 1-0 home win, adding: " It was an important win for us.
"We must keep on winning to keep the pressure on Chester at the top."
