Stockport 0-2 Hereford
Hereford celebrated a happy return to the Football League after nine years in the Conference by beating Stockport.
However, Stockport created the lion's share of the chances - Michael Rose hit the post with a free-kick and Michael Raynes' drive was blocked on the line.
Hereford took a barely-deserved lead after 37 minutes when Stuart Fleetwood fired home from inside the box.
And yet, Hereford sealed the win on 59 minutes when Tamika Mkandawire powered home a header from Purdie's corner.
