Hereford scored two goals in consecutive minutes to go ahead.

Dara O'Shea headed the Bulls in front before Rob Purdie, who will retire at the end of the season after qualifying as a firefighter, nodded in the second on 13 minutes.

Mike McGrath was bought down inside the box after latching onto a Jennison Myrie-Williams shot for a penalty slotted home by Lance Smith just three minutes later.

Kettering pulled a goal back four minutes into the second half as Gary Stohrer hit the post before Mathew Stevens netted the rebound.

Smith scored his second of the afternoon by flicking home a Cameron Pring cross on 68 minutes.
