Biggleswade Town 0-1 Hereford FC: PLAYER RATINGS as Bulls are crowned worthy Southern League Premier champions

Biggleswade Town

Patrick Sinfield: 8 - What a game for the youngster to make his debut in. Showed a calm temperament and excellent handling in such huge game at this level. Can be mightily proud of his efforts

Mark Coulson: 6.5 - Employed a thou shalt not pass attitude which served him well in his difficult duel with Myrie-Williams. Should not be too disheartened as his opponent will trouble far better players than the hard-working Waders right back

Lucas Perry: 7 - Powerful left foot but could perhaps offer a better delivery. Good to see him supplement his side’s attacks down the left flank while being uncompromising defensively

Reece Fielding: 7 - Worked hard doing the unsung dirty work. Gave his all, as did every single one of his team-mates

Nathan Hicks: 7 - A leader on the pitch and has been central to the Waders sterling efforts this term. Effective in tidying up loose balls.

Connor Hall: 7.5 - Brave and committed. Always alert to danger and ready to put his body on the line to block. Got the better of his man Lance Smith in an excellent performance

Greg Kaziboni: 6.5 - Another good shift from the talented No7 who notched a goal against Luton at Kenilworth last month. Will be disappointed at giving the penalty away after fouling Myrie-Williams but there was no shame in that as the former Stevenage man was a handful

Robbie Parker: 7 - Responsible for the Waders only shot of the first half which flew high and wide. Showed superb timing with his tacking. Vocal and a good organiser

Jack Bowen: 7 - Worked hard pressing the back four from up top in a thankless task which will have pleased his boss Chris Nunn no end.

Liam Brooks: 6.5 - The former Hitchin Town striker was not as effective as he would have liked but not for want of trying. Powerful shot on him which tested Puddy

George Bailey: 6.5 - Not as influential as he would have liked on the left flank

Substitutes:

Tony ‘Magical’ Burnett on for Brooks late on

Hereford FC

Will Puddy: 8 - Eager to launch attacks and not afraid to use the long ball as a weapon. Commanded his box impressively.

Jimmy Oates: 7 - Put in a shift for the Bulls but could have improved his distribution

Cameron Pring: 7 - A solid presence. Kept his shape well and committed in the tackle

Elliot Richards: 7 - Another excellent performance as the Bulls headed for their third consecutive title. Almost scored a contender for goal of the season after his volley ten yards inside the Waders half just after the interval flew narrowly wide

Dara O’Shea: 7 - Not afraid to pump it long when clearing his lines.

Jordan Liburd: 7 - Will have had better games but played his part in getting his side to where they are. Not afraid to put the ball in Row Z when required

Keyon Reffell: 7 - Another happy to adopt a more agricultural option when moving the ball forward.

Rob Purdie: 8 - The veteran forward who scored against Waders near neighbours Royston Town over Easter is a difficult player to handle as a defender - purely because of his nous as an experienced campaigner. Showed no nerves as he fired home emphatically to put the Bulls ahead moments before half-time

Lance Smith: 6.5 - Marshalled well throughout by Connor Hall. Gave his all and deserved his ovation after being replaced by Symons

Mike McGrath: 6.5 - Lost possession far too easily for a player of his calibre.

Jenninson Myrie-Williams: 8.5 - The former Stevenage man showed quick feet and a willing to embark on mazy runs in a bid to get the better of Waders right back Coulson. Won the penalty after another of his twisting runs.

Substitutes:

Mike Symons: 7 - The giant forward came on for the hobbling Smith. Not the most agile as witnessed by high m blasting over the bar when well placed late on but posed an aerial threat
