Hereford begin their pre-season build up ahead of the new Enterprise National League North campaign with a friendly at Wellington on Saturday, 5th July, kick-off 3pm.
The match will provide Bulls’ supporters with their first chance of casting their eyes over the new summer signings following the arrival of Keenan Quansah from Southport, Mitchell Roberts from Boston United and Kai Williams from Tamworth.
Much speculation surrounds further acquisitions with at least two loan signings expected, plus a plethora of triallists for manager Paul Caddis to consider.
The Wellington pitch is said to be in a good condition despite the hot weather recently and a decent surface should make for an interesting pre-season opener for the Bulls. Everything is set up ready for a good crowd.
Wellington Playing Fields is in the village of Wellington just off the A49 – postcode HR4 8AZ – with parking onsite and refreshments available plus a licenced bar which will be open from 1-6pm. Pre and post-match drinks may also be purchased in the clubhouse further into the village from midday.
