The young Derby County goalkeeper Matt Yates helped Hereford gain a valuable three points against promotion chasing Chester at Edgar Street this afternoon.

As was the case against Kidderminster Harriers on Boxing Day, Yates made a couple of vital saves to thwart Chester in the Vanarama National League North this afternoon and was delighted to have chalked up another clean sheet.

However, he was quick to point to a rock-solid defence which appears to have improved substantially with the arrival of the experienced Josh Gowling.
