Two friendlies this week

Hereford United have two friendlies this week. This evening they play at Ludlow and on Wednesday they travel to Bromsgrove. Both games start at 7.45pm.

The Ludlow game, which has become a regular friendly for the Bulls, usually draws a good crowd. It will be Hereford's first friendly against lower opposition and should allow the Bulls to find the back of the net quite often through the game.

It is thought that Graham Turner will still need to look at several of his trialists before offering any of them a contract. Both strikers, Graham Evans and Guy Ipoua, on view on Saturday may get another chance to impress. So far, neither have looked quite good enough to join the Bulls although Ipoua seemed far from fully fit.

Meanwhile Steve McCormack, joint mamager of Ludlow Town, told the South Shropshire Journal last week that his side are more than capable of holding their own.

"Looking ahead to this big game against Hereford on Monday, I think we are more than capable of holding our own. We've got some good players who will defend well.

"Hereford are a good footballing side, but I am looking forward to it. It will be useful to see how good they are, so I can take some ideas from it for the new season, and it's a good opportunity for the lads to pick up some ideas as well.

"Hopefully there'll be a good crowd and Hereford have said they'll send up a strong side."

The Coors stadium at Ludlow is on the left hand side of the A49 travelling north. To get to the stadium take the left turn at the second roundabout and travel down into Ludlow then turn right past the schools and road-humps.
