It's Ewyas Harold In The Cup


UPDATE: MATCH POSTPONED

Weather permitting Ewyas Harold are the visitors to Edgar Street this evening for a semi-final tie in the HFA County Cup.

Hereford manager Peter Beadle is set to field a team of players needing game time and a few youngsters.

Keeper Will Puddy is expected to make his debut for the Bulls. Also expected to start are defenders Jack Deaman and Jordan Liburd.

In midfield Mike McGrath who has been out since November should start probably alongside Billy Murphy.

Beadle has also said that Jamie Cuss will feature.

Recent signing Jennison Myrie-Williams will start upfront. Beadle said after Saturday's game that he needed more minutes to improve his fitness.

Since reforming, the Bulls have been back-to-back winners of the cup. During the nine games they've played, they've scored 46 goals and conceded just four goals.

The biggest win came in the last round against Tenbury United, as Pete Beadle's side cruised through to the semi-finals with 15-1 win.

Ewyas Harold are looking forward to the challenge. They play in the Herefordshire County League and currently lie third in the table.

They recently drew 2-2 with Wellington Rangers in the league, in what was a game of two halves. Manager Malcolm Watkins admitted it was a close game and it's shaping up to be a good end to the season.

"It was a closely-fought game between two good sides with different qualities. It was a good match and when you’re two-nil up at half time, you’ve got to think you’re going to see the game out.


"Wellington never gave, they never give up, so fair play to them. It’s close at the top of the prem and it’s putting some excitement back into it locally. It’s making a really good climax to the season."

In 2013, the club secured a grant from the Adam Stansfield Foundation, which Hereford fans will be familiar with. Following Stanno's death in 2010, the foundation was set up and aims to support young people in Devon, Herefordshire and Somerset by the provision of grants and facilities for playing football.

Ewyas Harold received junior football kits and training equipment for their new under 10s and under 13s teams. At the time, they said it would enable the club to take the next step in its development and
help enable local children to take part in football.
