Mountain— ous, a 9-1 shot, hit the front with three fences to go and is the first double winner of the race since Bonanza Boy in 1989.

I eadle’s backing Vase decision Pete Beadle’s side face Leicester Nirvana on Saturday in the FA Vase By Paul Rogers HEREFORD FC manag- er Pete Beadle says this Saturday was the only realistic day to play the rearranged FA Vase game againsr Leicester Nirvana due to the Edgar Street pitch still being water- logged. The Bulls were leading 3-1 in the fourth round tie thanks to goals from John Mills, Dylan Bonella and Mike Symons, when the match was called off at half-time. FA rules state that any abandoned FA Vase game, from the fourth round onwards, has to be played either on the following Saturday or beforehand. The Bulls have con- firmed all supporters will have to pay a re- duced price of £4 [£1 for under-165] for the game, regardless of whether they went to the aban- doned game, after speak- ing to Nirvana and the FA. “All of the games have to be played and I know there are certain rounds that still have to be played and they’re a bit behind with the games, ” said Beadle. ‘The two clubs spoke about it and thought having it on Saturday would be the best chance of playing the game. “I know I initially said may be it could have been played on Tuesday, but, speaking to Roger [Lloyd] and looking at it in the week, the pitch was still quite water- logged and needs a few days to dry out.” Hereford’s eagerly- anticipated away league match at Sporting Khal- sa has subsequently been postponed. “It was a fixture that we were particularly look- ing forward to because it would have been a big oc— casion and created a lot of interest," said Sport- ing Khalsa spokesman Mat Danks “But we support other teams from our league who are in the FA Vase and we hope Hereford continue doing well in it.” Danks added he had a feeling the game would be postponed to make way for Hereford’s re- arranged game against Leicester Nirvana. “When we were playing Westfields on Saturday, news got round at half time that their match could get cancelled, so it did dawn on us that our match against them would have to be rears ranged, but it’s just one of those things,” said Danks. “It wasn’t going to be a case of ramping things up for the match though, we haven’t got a big mars quee and won’t have any financial issues.” I TURN TO PAGE 151 Ia Unit 6, Cropper Row, Haigh Industrial Est, Ross on Wye.
