Comeback Stars and Magennis ram The Bulls

A strong Cardiff City side featuring the return of three long-term injured players travelled to Edgar Street to play Hereford United in a behind closed doors friendly and emeregd 2-1 victors with rookie Josh Magennis scoring a double after City fell behind early in the 2nd half.


With City not competing in any reserve league, impromptu - and all too rare -friendlies are the only official reserve action. This game saw the return of Kevin McNaughton (out since a pre-season ankle injury against Celtic in July), Ross McCormack (who did come off the bnch at Watford but who had not started a game since a hamstring tear at Blackpool in the season's second game) and the forgotten man that is Warren Feeney.

City's side were Enckelman, McNaughton, Quinn, Comminges, Capaldi, Zak Evans, Taiwo, Scimeca, McCormack, Magennis and Feeney and they dominated a first half but which ended goalless with few clear cut chances.


The Bluebirds rested the returning trio at the interval and soon found themselves behind after the restart but two well taken goals by Magennis, the winner a rising drive on the turn, made the short journey home a happy one.
