Brown in contention for derby match

Hereford United play their first home match of the new Conference season when they host Forest Green Rovers tomorrow night, kick off 7.45pm.

The Bulls hope that striker David Brown will feature after recovering sufficiently from a broken collarbone to be in contention, while Jordan King has also got over his bout on tonsilitis. Defender Andy Tretton is set to continue at centre-back after suffering no reaction to his back injury in Saturday's 3-1 win at Tamworth.

Forest Green, who finished in the top half of the table last term, will be eager to build upon last season's success with a strong start this time.

The Gloucestershire side, managed by Colin Addison, twice boss of Hereford, drew 0-0 with Northwich Victoria on Saturday and are likely to field ex-Bull Neil Grayson in attack.

However, Gareth Stoker, another former Hereford midfielder, will not feature as he is suffering from shoulder cartilage injury.
