With no match report posted to the mailing list the following was gleaned from the Abbey Update and Cambridge Evening News:
United suffered a late collapse away at Hereford last night and went down 3-0 in the Coca-Cola Cup first round, first leg match. They now have a mountain to climb in the return match in a fortnight and Tommy Taylor has hinted that there will be changes in the line-up for Saturday's league game at Chester.
"We needed everybody to roll up their sleeves when we went a goal down," said manager Tommy Taylor, "but two or three didn't."
Paul Wanless was the only change to the weekend's team, deputising for Micah Hyde who was resting a slight injury.
