Today's a big day in Hereford City. First league same city derby to be played at Edgar Street since the 1890s when Hereford Town played Hereford Thistle. This time it's Hereford F.C.v Westfields. Since a goalless draw at Allpay Park back in August Hereford F.C.have won 23 consecutive games in all competitions which included a feisty cup game between these two sides which saw Westfields take an early lead before having two players sent off amd going on to lose 4-1. Quite a buzz about the city and close on 4500 tickets have been sold which for the Midland Alliance Premier Division is a record and staggering when you look at some of the crowds in League 1 and League 2. I'll be watching a stream of our game at Bournemouth (villa away and a night on the lash up there in a couple of weeks time mean I can't push things with my wife too much lol) but will be constantly checking the Hereford Times live feed. Will message match details on here later for anyone remotely interested!

Hereford update. They lost 2-0 at home to Highgate midweek although had around 7 players unavailable and now sit top of the league but second placed team are five points behind with three games in hand. This brought to an end a run of 34 games unbeaten (33 of which they'd won). They are also through to the semi finals of the FA Vase where they will meet Salisbury over two legs for a place in the Wembley final. They won the quarter final 3-2 coming from behind twice and scoring the winner in the last minute of extra time. Their gates are still between 2000 and 4000.

The unbeaten run was league and cup. But yes it's remarkable that with that success a team can overtake them!
