Speaking before kick-off at Edgar Street this afternoon, Leicester Nirvana chairman Kirk Master told BN how pleased he was that the game was on.
"The ground staff and the club have done fantastic to get it on from the condition it was in last week. Credit to them where credit is due.
"Pleased to be down here again and round two.
"We are a very young side with an average age of 20.
"We promote youth, that's what we do. We have to because of our financial situation.
"They are young, they are in-experienced, they are fearless and I guess they will go out gung-ho the same way as they did last time. Because that's all we know.
"Whatever we get out of today they will have learnt a lot, that's why it is pleasing to come to big clubs, nice clubs that make you feel welcome.
"Hopefully they'll go away with another bow to their feather in their football careers."
Nirvana are top of their league.
"It's going quite well at the moment. We started bright. We've got a very good technical side, individual players are very good. Great morale right through the club.
"We have 23 sides and I guess 80% of this first team have come through those junior sides.
"Every day is a new day in the football club like it is for most of us.
"But we all enjoy it and that brings us together and makes us tighter and stronger and I think that puts us in a good position when we come out on days like this."
If Nirvana win their league they move up to step four.
"I guess it will be Evo-Stick Midland Division but that's down to the FA."
So if both Hereford and Nirvana are promoted it's very unlikely they'll meet next season?
"May be not but both managers have been very complimentary about each other. I know they've had a drink and a chat. I'm sure we'll do something again maybe a friendly or have a look at each others players."
