HEREFORD FC defender Jimmy Oates says the Bulls wanted to go the whole season unbeaten.

Pete Beadle's team lost 2-1 at home to Taunton Town yesterday - their first defeat in Southern League Division One South & West.

Oates - who is in his final year at Hartpury College - conceded that the team were very slow in the opening exhanges, which allowed Taunton to open up a 2-0 lead.

However, the Australian defender felt the Bulls could have nicked a draw after playing much better after the break.
