Hereford have skipper Luke Graham back for delayed Ebbsfleet clash

4:19pm Saturday 25th August 2012 in Blue Square Bet Conference Premier - Table

HEREFORD made two changes for the delayed kick-off match with their Kent rivals.

Luke Graham, back to replace Stefan Stam whose first child was due this weekend, resumed as skipper in the middle of the back four while Simon Clist took over from Ashley Sammons.

On the Bulls bench was non-contract winger Brian Smikle, who had spent a loan spell at Hereford during their previous spell in the Conference.

Ebbsfleet, whose nightmare journey to Edgar Street ended at just after 3.30pm in time for the 4.30pm kick-off, included ex-Bulls Moses Ashikodi and Nathan Elder.

Hereford: 4-4-2: Hanford; Gallinagh, Graham, Townsend, Carruthers; Watkins, Clist, Pell, Clucas; Canham, Nichols. Subs not used: Bittner, Evans, Sammons, Bowman, Smikle.

Ebbsfleet: 4-4-2: Edwards; Stone, Howe, Ada, Lorraine; Bellamy, Barrett, Phipp, Enver-Marum; Elder, Ashikodi. Subs not used: Blake, Walsh, McNeill, Greenhalgh, Azeez.

Referee: Brett Huxtable (Devon).
