Hereford Will Be A Big Test Says Tiverton Manager


Tiverton manager Martin Rogers says that tomorrow's game at Hereford 'will be a big test'.

Last Saturday they defeated Bishops Stortford 2-1 in their first ever League game at this level.

"I was delighted," Rogers told DevonLive.

"The big thing is making sure you get the three points in the first game of the season as it just takes the pressure off you straight away."

There should be a good gate at Edgar Street tomorrow evening.

"It's going to be a big test for us," Rogers said. "We had a couple of good games against them last year and I'd like to think that hopefully we can get a bit closer to them.

"There's obviously going to be a big crowd there and a good atmosphere, so I've said to the boys that they need to cherish playing in front of a big crowd.

"Everything is new – it's the first away game and it's a great game to play in for all of the players.

"We've got three back from Saturday with Ben Mammola, Scott Rogers and Liam Gregory all coming back into the squad.

"That's a huge plus. There's going to be some decisions to be made over the team but I'd rather have those decisions than not enough players."
