- PRE-MATCH
- HEREFORD have made the trip to Southport for their fourth National League North game of the season.
- While Hereford are unbeaten in their opening three league matches, they have drawn two of them.
- A point at Chorley last weekend will be seen as a good one. However, the Bulls were in control against Peterborough Sports on Tuesday night before being held to a 1-1 draw.
- Today's hosts have had a good start to their campaign with a home win against Alfreton Town on the opening day.
- That was followed by a 2-1 win at Needham Market before being beaten 2-0 at Spennymoor Town on Tuesday night.
- Their opening day home win against Alfreton will give the Sandgrounders optimism heading into today's game.
- The Bulls recorded a 2-1 victory at Hague Avenue last season with both Paul Downing and Kieran Phillips netting.
- Both have since left the club. However, Marcus Carver who pulled a late goal back for Southport does start today for the hosts.
