HEREFORD United travel to play Shropshire rivals Shrewsbury Town on Saturday in a Nationwide Conference clash at Gay Meadow.

It will be the first meeting between the old rivals since the Shrews beat the Bulls 4-1 at home in the semi-final of the Auto Windscreen Shield back in 1996.

This long awaited clash brings old Shrewsbury favourites Steve Guinan and Dean Craven, and their much esteemed former manager Graham Turner, back to Gay Meadow.

With the Bulls lying second and Shrewsbury in sixth place in a very competitive league a capacity crowd is expected for the 3pm kick-off.
