Bulls sign ex-Owl

Hereford United have made another loan signing in time for tomorrow night's match against Chester City, with Doncaster Rovers defender Dean Barrick joining the Bulls until the end of the season.

Barrick is an ex-Sheffield Wednesday trainee who had spells with Rotherham United, Cambridge United, Bury and Preston North End. He spent a spell in Scotland on loan at Ayr United and sustained a bad groin injury, and joined Doncaster in February 2001. He has since signed a two year contract, keeping the 32 year old at Belle Vue until summer 2003. During his Football League spell, Barrick was a favourite at left back who likes to get forward.

Chester City are expected to name an unchanged side for the match, and club secretary Michael Beech told the BBC: "Every game is another challenge. We're on a good run and have been undefeated since the beginning of January so our confidence is reasonably high."

Bulls hope for double revenge

Hereford United have Matt Clarke back from suspension for tomorrow night's Nationwide Conference clash at Edgar Street, kick off 7.45pm.
And they'll need him if they are to gain revenge against a Chester City side who have beaten the Bulls twice already this season. Hereford lost 2-0 at the Deva Stadium in October, and then crashed out of the FA Trophy at the fifth round stage to a last minute Jimmy Haarhoff goal in the north Wales border city.
Following that painful exit for Phil Robinson's side, the Bulls have won just one game. Their 1-0 victory at Dover Athletic eased their relegation fears, but Chester, managed by Mark Wright, have pulled themselves out of the relegation zone as they close in on Hereford.

United are without the suspended battling midfielder John Snape for the clash, but Matt Clarke return in defence. Paul Parry is hoped to make the team after an illness kept him out of Saturday's 2-0 defeat against Morecambe, but Steve Piearce is a doubt after sustaining an ankle injury in the game. Goalkeeper Matt Baker could be set to return after injury, but faces opposition for his place from stand-in stopper Stuart Jones.
Chester could include former Hereford players Mark Williams and Brian McGorry in their squad for the match.
Meanwhile, anyone wishing to travel to Scarborough on the away travel should book with the club on 01432 276666. Tickets cost £30, but could be reduced if numbers are high enough. The bus will leave Edgar Street on Saturday morning at 8.45am.
