Adebayo Akinfenwa tries to break the deadlock

Gillingham earned a deserved point from their League 2 trip
to Hereford on Saturday.
The Gills almost snatched the win in the dying moments of the
game but home keeper Adam Bartlett tipped Danny Spiller’s shot over
the bar.
Gillingham got closest to breaking the deadlock during the first
45 minutes as a well-worked free-kick was laid off to Chris Palmer
and he smashed a low shot into the post.
Hereford were being restricted to long range efforts in the
opening half but few posed any trouble for keeper Alan Julian.
Home keeper Adam Bartlett made a good early save from Danny
Spiller, after he picked up a corner from Palmer.
The half ended with some heated exchanges and Adebayo Akinfenwa
was incensed at a challenge from Janos Kovacs. At half-time he
directed his anger at the referee and had to be led down the tunnel
by manager Andy Hessenthaler.
The second half started well for Hereford, with Mathieu Monset
and Joe Colbeck coming close, but Spiller’s late effort was the
best of the lot as the Gills ended the game on top.
His shot was heading for the top corner but was denied by
Bartlett’s save.
