We're 110% Focused says O'Kelly

Hereford United manager Richard O'Kelly has been quoted in a Guardian article about the battle between the Bulls and Barnet to stay in League Two.

The article suggests both clubs have much in common including low gates and a recent change in manager.

Martin Allen took charge at Underhill a couple of weeks ago and O'Kelly only joined the Bulls in March. Both clubs won last Saturday, Barnet at Wimbledon and Hereford at Crawley so both sides will go into tomorrow's with a degree of confidence.

 "We're starting to get the bounce of the ball and there's a really good feeling about the club," noted O'Kelly.

 "Torquay are up there on merit and both teams have something to play for. We've both got such a good cause to go for. This is such a tight, community club and the spirit is excellent.

"We're 100% focused or, as they say on the X-Factor, 110%."

O'Kelly has been in contact with his former boss Graham Turner.

"I've got his full support.

 "That good fortune that Shrewsbury had to win promotion, and no matter how excellently you perform you always need luck, he said that he doesn't need it any more this season and he'll lend it to me this week."

Torquay could be promoted automatically if they win the game.

"It's a good situation as they will be feeling a little bit of pressure the same as we are."
