Bristol Rovers 6-1 Hereford

Bristol Rovers romped to victory as they left Hereford reeling.

Darryl Duffy capitalised on a defensive slip to fire in the opener and Rickie Lambert's superb curling shot from 30 yards added the home side's second.

A driven shot by Duffy and a Jeff Hughes left-footed rocket further stunned the visitors.

Lambert and Chris Lines netted from 25-yard free-kicks before Steve Guinan grabbed an injury-time consolation goal from close range for Hereford.
