Match report
Goals from Delroy Facey, Ben Hutchinson and Mustapha Carayol propelled Lincoln City to their second consecutive league victory.
The visitors Hereford United did manage to pull a goal back after half time, but by then the outcome looked inevitable.
Even a disallowed goal from centre back Adam Watts couldn’t hold the Red and Whites back. City dominated the 1st half creating numerous chances with Delroy Facey coming close to scoring on two occasions.
Captain Scott Kerr led by example and pulled off an exemplary display in the centre of midfield alongside Josh O’Keefe.
Views from the Stacey West stand
Mark McCormack
Season ticket holder Mark McCormack said: “Really good game, first game this season where I haven’t had to worry about us losing. We looked superb. Scott Kerr was easily the man of the match and pulled all the strings for us. Onwards and upwards.”
Craig Harvey
Stacey West regular Craig Harvey said: “Best home game that I have seen this season, good attacking play by our two frontmen, exactly what we wanted and what we needed.”
Ryan Chambers
University student and lifelong Imps fan Ryan Chambers said: “Amazing, one of the best performances of the season by far, especially at home. Scott Kerr was on top form today and dictated the play well, Ben Hutchinson looked a lot more lively too.”
Billy Jarish
Young Imps fan and Stacey West regular Billy Jarish said: “Basically excellent home game, best so far in my books. Hopefully more if the same on Tuesday against Bury!”
Dean Burley
Twitterer and Imps fan Dean Burley said: “Best 90 minutes of Lincoln City football I have seen in 18 months coupled with the outstanding performance last week at Morecambe can only mean that Steve Tilson has got it right.”
Player ratings
Joe Anyon 6
Safe hands throughout along, with good distribution. Shame about the goal.
Jamie Clapham 6
Typically industrious performance from the left back. Little to do against poor wingers.
Adam Watts 7
Commanding performance from the centre back, unlucky to have goal disallowed.
Dan Gowling 7
Looks comfortable at this level and works well with Watts.
Gavin Hoyte 6
Dealt with what came his way well, could have done more going forward, but defensively stable.
Albert Jarret 7
Had a good game if not a little inconsistent, pacey runs worried Hereford full backs.
Scott Kerr 8
Easily the best player on the pitch practically ran the game and deserved a goal.
Josh O’Keefe 7
Played well alongside Kerr, made some important passes.
Mustapha Carayol 8
Was a constant worry to the opposing full-backs and took his goal well.
Ben Hutchinson 7
His best showing at Sincil Bank, early goal provided the setting for the good performance.
Delroy Facey 7
Typically hard working and won a lot in the air as expected. Could have scored more than one goal though.

From 4am on Tuesday, December 7, anyone wishing to travel to the UK must show proof of a negative PCR or LFD pre-departure test, taken no earlier than 48 hours before departure. This applies to vaccinated passengers and children aged 12 and above.
Nigeria will slo be added to the travel red list from 4am Monday, December 6, following 21 cases of Omicron reported in England which are linked to travel from this country, with 134 UK cases now reported in total.
New Government analysis indicates the window between infection and infectiousness may be shorter for the Omicron COVID variant, which increases the efficacy of pre-departure testing as it is more likely to identify positive cases before travel.
Airlines will be required to check for pre-departure tests alongside completed Passenger Locator Form, and passengers will not be allowed to board a flight without providing evidence of a negative test result.
Given the reduced incubation period of the Omicron variant, passengers are advised to take the pre-departure test as close as possible to their scheduled departure to the UK and no earlier than 48 hours before travelling.
The Government said these additional measures are vital to delay the import of additional cases and slow the rise in cases within the UK.
All temporary measures will be reviewed after three weeks to ensure that they remain necessary and proportionate, and this will take place on December 20.
Animal Protection Services is offering a reward of up to £1,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of people involved in badger baiting following an incident in Lincolnshire.
A badger was rescued by Lincolnshire Badger Group from a warehouse in Market Rasen, which had suffered injuries that were consistent with badger baiting.
Badger baiting is a form of blood sport that involves a dog being forced to fight with a badger.
Unfortunately, due the serious injuries sustained, the vet was forced to euthanise the badger.
Jacob Lloyd, a trustee of Animal Protection Services, said: “Badger baiting is a horrific cruel blood sport that affects the welfare of dogs and badgers.
“These wild animals will suffer immensely in the moments’ leading up to their deaths.
“This is a despicable crime that was made illegal in 1835. Despite it being illegal, we are hearing of more badger baiting cases than ever before.”
“We are offering a reward of up to £1,000 for information leading to a conviction of badger baiting.
“All of the information that is provided to us will be treated in the strictest confidence and any source may wish to remain anonymous.”
Anyone with information should call Animal Protection Services on 020 4534 2786 or send information by email to [email protected].
