The Bulls

Leigh make the long trip to Hereford to take on a Hereford United side who's season has virtually ended, although it is a hugely vital game for RMI as they look to get their survival bid on track as the season reaches it's conclusion.

Hereford's hopes of a place in the inaugural Conference play-offs ended last weekend with defeat against Halifax Town, although Graham Turner's side will be looking to keep hold of their place of sixth in the league.

Andrew Tretton is set to miss the game for the Bulls after being substituted last weekend against Halifax because of injury, although Paul Parry looks set to return to the side.

Leigh RMI boss Mark Patterson reports a clean bill of health, with a fully fit squad to choose from, although defender Martyn Lancaster will miss tomorrow's game, and RMI's finall two league games, after picking up a three match suspension following his sending off against Stevenage Borough earlier this month.

Leigh are two points away from climbing out of the relegation zone and will be desperate for three points at Edgar Street as they look to avoid a return to the Unibond League after three seasons in the Conference.
