United need slip-up from rivals

If Hereford United are going to move back into the play-off zone come the end of the Conference season, they need one of the five teams around them to drop points, and also beat Margate tomorrow at Edgar Street.

Tonight, top-of-the-table Yeovil Town host Scarborough (eighth in the Conference) safe in the knowledge that a play-off place has been secured and that victory would almost certaintly see them crowned Nationwide Conference champions after their slip-up two years ago.

However, the more important matches from a Hereford point of view are played tomorrow. Chester City (fourth) face a trip to troubled Farnborough Town, who haven't won in their last twelve matches and look unlikely to do so tomorrow, while the team currently in fifth, Morecambe, host Nuneaton Borough at Christie Park. Boro' need to pick up points to pull away from the drop zone and after drawing 1-1 at Manor Park earlier in the season, the Warwickshire-based side will be eager to pick up another point tomorrow.

Elsewhere, Dagenham & Redbridge (third) face a tricky tie at Stevenage Borough, who have seen an upturn in the fortunes in recent weeks, and Halifax Town (seventh), now out of administration and able to compete in the play-offs, have a bigger incentive to beat lowly Woking at the Shay. Doncaster Rovers (second) are without a game.
