Radcliffe goalie Hurst impressed

Ratcliffe Borough's goalkeeper and the goal posts kept the visitors in the game at Hereford this afternoon as Lee Mills was unlucky not to score a hat-trick.

23 year-old Danny Hurst was between the sticks for Radcliffe. Now in his 5th season with the team after signing from Cheadle Town in the summer of 2000 it is surprising that he hasn't played at a higher level. He made several excellent saves this afternoon and would be their man of the match.

Kevin Glendon, the Radcliffe manager, told Bulls News earlier this week that in his opinion Hurst was the player to watch.

"Danny has been recognised as one of the best keepers in non-league football and such recognition has ensured several league clubs have looked at him, notably Manchester City and Sheffield Wednesday," said Glendon.

Graham Turner signed a new goalkeeper, Craig Mawson, late on Thursday initially for a month. If, for some reason that doesn't work out, he might even consider Hurst who probably could earn a place with a team in a higher league.
