HEREFORD FC will be gunning for their 18th consecutive win today when they travel to Bardon Hill in the Midland Football League Premier Division.

Pete Beadle's side, whose run started with that memorable 7-2 away win against Heanor Town September 5, are five points clear at the top of the division, albeit teams below them do have games in hand.

A lot of rain is expected at around lunchtime, but Bardon Hill have said they are confident the game will go ahead and no pitch inspection is planned.

Hereford go into the game on the back of a 6-0 drubbing of Stourport Swifts; new signing Mike Symons helping himself to a hat-trick.

Westfields are also in MFL action; Sean Edwards' side are home to Loughborough University and are in desperate need of three points to propel them up the table.
