17 out of the 18 Hereford United 'signed' players took at least some part in this afternoon's goal-less friendly against an Everton XI. The only player missing was keeper James Bittner who is reported to have a back problem. (Later the club revealed he is going to see a specialist on Tuesday for an injection)
Dan Connor and Lewis Feeley were also in the matchday squad.

Bittner's absence has meant that Dan Hanford (above) has kept goal in every friendly to date.
Whilst some players such as Joe Heath, Benoit Dalibard (pictured with the ball) and Stefan Stam were only given short periods on the pitch, not surprising after their injuries, others such as Simon Clist, Luke Graham, Andy Gallinagh, Harry Pell and Marlon Jackson played the full 90 minutes.
One slight worry was a second half injury to striker Ryan Bowman (pictured with Will Evans). He appeared to have suffered a blow to his jaw.
Physio Ian Rodgerson also had to attend to Chris Carruthers who looked as though he had hurt his upper leg.
Hereford created several chances during the game never really tested the Everton keeper. This one, in the 38th minute, came after a corner.
Sam Clucas was alert when he blocked a strong shot with his knees towards the end of the match.
