HEREFORD FC striker John Mills could star for the Bulls' second pre-season friendly against Lydney Town today after sitting out the win over Pegasus Juniors.

Mills has a tight calf, but Bulls manager Pete Beadle is confident he can be part of the action.

However, defender Ryan Green is not set to play after recovering from a knee injury he sustained after the FA Vase Final in May. 

Green is going to see his consultant next week before resuming training.

The match will see the opening of a new £17,740 stand at Lydney.

The project was made possible thanks to an £8,735 grant from the Premier League through the Football Stadia Improvement Fund (FSIF) - the largest funders of non-league football in the country. 

The funding has enabled Lydney, who play in the Hellenic League Premier Division, to construct a new covered stand at their Recreation Ground.

Kick-off is 3pm and it is £5 for adults, £3 concessions and free for under-16s.

Extra catering faciltiies will be rbought in for the friendly, with parking at the rear of the nearby rugby club - post code GL15 5RN.
