It's The FA Trophy On Saturday

Hereford FC enter this season's FA Trophy on Saturday with a home tie against fellow National North outfit Brackley.

After the Bulls were dumped out of the FA Cup by Stafford, it is hoped that there will be a better run in the Trophy. 

Going out of the FA Cup so early did nothing to help the club's finances. Getting to Round One in the competition is usually quite lucrative, Round Three when the bigger clubs enter the fray is even better. 

Early games in the Trophy don't usually attract big gates, however the prize money does help.

"We've got a proud history as a football club with Cup runs and I am going to try and continue that," said manager Aaron Downes.

"I was disappointed with the FA Cup so the Trophy represents a real good opportunity for us as a football club.

"I'll be giving it the respect it deserves.

"I want to win every match, even more so at home.

"I'll be doing everything I can to make sure we are prepared and ready and organised for Brackley in the Trophy."
