HEREFORD FC lead 1-0 at Pershore Town in tonight's Polymac Packaging Services Midland Football League Cup first round tie.

Nathan Hughes grabbed the goal in the 15th minute following good build-up play from Carlos Moreira.

Hereford have had plenty of possession and have restricted Pershore to any chances of note.

The Bulls have made seven changes from the team that started against Boldmere St Micheals on Saturday, with new Under-18 recruits Lewis Clarke and Jay Richmond playing in the full-back positions.

Tom Gameson is also playing for Hereford for the first time tonight, with the team captained by Dylan Bonella.

Ryan Green, who signed for the Bulls yesterday, is in attendance but is awaiting international clearance before he is able to play.
