Turner and Westley, the two Grahams

Both Graham Turner and Graham Westley have spoken about the play-offs after yesterday's games which resulted in Hereford United being drawn against Stevenage Borough in the Conference play-offs.

"It will be a cracking contest," Westley told the Non-League Paper."We are coming into form and hopefully our best is yet to come.

"We're 1-1 with Hereford across the season. We won up there and they beat us down here."

However Stevenage could only defeat bottom team Leigh RMI 2-0 with the second goal coming on 90 minutes. Reports suggest that they struggled to finish off part-time Leigh.

Meanwhile Turner commented that although he thought Hereford should have scored, he was pleased with the result against Accrington.

"It would have been nice to have finished with a win but it turns out a point was good enough for second place.

"It was another solid defensive display although we might have taken one of a couple of good chances in the second half.

"Now we've got to plan for Stevenage and get the right result."

Of the two other sides in the play-offs Terry Brown, the Aldershot manager, was more upbeat than Paul Simpson, the Carlisle manager.

"When you think that a team with the quality and calibre of Morecambe have not made it and Exeter City, who held Manchester United to a draw, have not made it, you can only be proud of the boys," said Brown.

Carlisle were defeated at home by Exeter and Simpson wasn't happy.

"We've let ourselves down today. You can't switch it on when you fancy it and switch off for games that don't seem to matter much," he commented.
