Tuesday - the grand reunion

Two of Hereford United's current squad face their former side on Tuesday when the Bulls host Telford United at Edgar Street, kick off 3pm.

David Brown and Jordan King left the New Bucks Head in the summer to move to Hereford, while John Grant, Matt Clarke and scout Ron Jukes went in the other direction.

Everyone is re-united, along with former United goalkeeper Chris MacKenzie (now at Telford) on Tuesday with the Shropshire-based club under the stewardship of Mick Jones.

Although Jordan King is unlikely to start for Hereford, Brown will push for a place in the strikeforce after Rob Purdie and Steve Guinan failed to find the net in Friday night's 4-1 defeat at Burton Albion.

Brown told the Evening News: "It's always nice to play against your old team but obviously getting injured in pre-season means I'm likely to be on the bench because I haven't broken through yet.

"However it should be a good game," he added. "They've spent a lot of money on players over the summer and brought in some good ones."

On his departure from Telford, Brown said: "I had a good time there it was just a shame the manager was sacked. I didn't agree with that at the time and in many respects my choosing to leave was down to that.

"The club wanted to keep me and offered me more money to stay but it was not right for me and I wanted a new challenge and got that with Hereford."

Hereford could miss defender Andy Tretton, who picked up a calf injury in the game at Burton, so Richard Teesdale is set to deputise at centre back. Telford, who are just outside the top half, lost 2-0 at home against Stevenage Borough on Saturday, and hope to have Lee Mills and John Grant leading their attack, having scored three goals each this season.
