Jan 9th 2002 - Cooksey to make comeback tonight


Goalkeeper Scott Cooksey should return to football tonight after a long lay off through injury as he features for the Hereford United reserve team at Worcester City in the Central Conference, kick off 7.45pm.

The 'keeper will play alongside Jimmy Quiggin, John Snape, Scott Voice, Daniel Davidson, Mark Williams, John Shirley and Alex Kevan and coach Phil Robinson said of Cooksey: "At one point it was questioned whether he would ever be able to come back to play at this level but to see his progress in the past month and to reach this position is great news."

Worcester, managed by John Barton, could field Danny McDonnell (a 'keeper rumoured to be joining Hereford in 2000), Martin Weir, Jamie Hyde and Marc Burrow but new signing Adam Webster has 'flu.

Looking ahead to Saturday's FA Trophy clash at Chesham United, Hereford United midfielder Scott Goodwin will miss out through suspension. He has received a two match ban for a sending off against Stalybridge Celtic last month. Ian Rodgerson and Gavin Williams are also doubts for the tie.
