HEREFORD manager Pete Beadle says talk of Wembley is a long way off as his side look to make progress in the FA Vase this weekend.

The Bulls travel to fellow Midland Football League Premier Division side Rocester in the first round.

The sides played each other in August, with Hereford scoring a stoppage-time penalty to earn a dramatic 4-3 win after they were 3-0 down at half-time.

"It is a long way off, but for any club, a day out at Wembley would be massive, but we've got a tough game on Saturday first, as was proved when we played them previously," said Beadle.

"They're not going to turn up and lay down for us, they're going to put up a fight and make it competitive.

"We've got to go there with the right frame of mind and perform to enable us to get through to the next round."

Adam Page cannot play in the game due to being on loan at Edgar Street, while Nathan Summers is still recovering from a dead leg.

"Nathan is getter better slowly, but it's taking a bit of time because it was such a severe dead leg so we're taking it slowly and being cautious about it," said Beadle.

Hereford have now won 14 consecutive games in all competitions, with their latest success being against Westfields in the Polymac Packaging Midland Football League Cup on Tuesday night.

Ironically, the last time the Bulls failed to win as at allpay.park on August Bank Holiday Monday.

Beadle felt his team deserved to win the game.

"I think the first half was extremely competitive and outside of the shot they scored from, I don't remember too many others that they had on target.

"We didn't have too many ourselves, although their keeper made one or two saves.

"In the second half, we asked them to do things a little bit different to get a little bit closer, certainly in midfield, and we did that and I thought dominated the second half.

"Once we got the second goal, it would have been nicer to get the third one a bit later because while it is 2-1 it makes it competitive until the end.

"But in the end, I think we got the result we deserved.

"The important thing is we got through and kept our run going.and hopefully got out of it with not too many injuries.

"There are a few bumps and bruises, but nothing too serious.

"I thought there were or one two rash challenges but the referee dealt with them in the way he thought was best.

"I don't think we agreed with some of them, but in the end you've got to play what you play and referee has to get on with it and we're not going to change his mind.

"Westfields stuck it through and made it competitive for us."

"This is not a priority competition for us, but we obviously want to keep the run going and win as many games as we can. but we also want to use this a chance to give players who aren't playing more minutes and whoever we play in the next round, we'll be looking to do the same.

"Nathan is getter better slowly, but it's taking a bit of time because it was such a severe dead leg so we're taking it slowly and being cautious about it.

"He did some work with us before the game and we'll see how he is over the next couple of days."
