Ludlow look forward to visit of Bulls

Ludlow Town entertain Hereford United next Tuesday in what is both clubs first pre-season friendly.

Yesterday Hereford United manager Graham Turner told BBC Hereford and Worcester how he would approach the game.

"We've got one or two trialists in so we can have a good look at them in a game.

"We'll give the pros here perhaps 45 minutes each just to get their legs stretched and a first game under their belt."

Meanwhile, Ludlow manager Chris Richards has told the South Shropshire Journal that the chance of his team playing against Hereford was too good an opportunity to miss.

"Hereford apologised at the short notice of the game, but it was the only time they could fit us in," he said.

"It's an exciting prospect and will be a challenge as Graham Turner will be sending his first team and we're hoping for a good crowd to come and watch."

The match will take place on Ludlow's first team pitch, despite repairs to the surface currently being carried out.

Finally, Jamie Tolley has been given a squad number by Shrewsbury. He is said to have trained with the squad yesterday despite rumours of a move away from the Gay Meadow.
