Competition: England Vanarama National League North
Date: Tue 22.October
Match begins: 20:45 (UTC)
Venue: Rossett Park (3185 seats)

Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Southport in 12th and Hereford in 8th place.

Southport have less rest than Hereford in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a FA Cup game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Altrincham, was also a home game here at Rossett Park. The away team is better rested. That game was an away game at Altrincham, so at least Southport are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
