Both play eis neie on the bench for \iestfie lds last game against Her etor (1 “Marcus needs to get games at the moment and has left the club to try and find a football club and get his match fitness up.“ said Edwards. "He is still signed for Westlields. as is Dean Lee. ‘ WESTFIELDS who was disappointed to be on the bench against Her- eford. "To be fair to him. he has been playing quite well lately. but was not prepared to tight for his place." Edwards added that his side need to have a much better second half to the season after finding them~ selves precariously close to the Midland Football League Premier Division drop zone. This Saturday, Westtields travel to fourth- placed Sporting Khalsa. “The league is as strong as it’s ever been, but 1 ex- pected us to be much high- er up,” said Edwards, who has brought in Andy Bevan from West Bromwich Albi- on‘s academy to help with training sessions. “Maybe that was down to bad decisions on my part in terms of recruitment. “Players have left instead of fighting for their place, but that happens in foot- ball. What we are left with are players whom you want to go to battle with.” Meanwhile, Westfields have received £3,555 in funding as part of the Sport Grants Programme. “Our funding has gone to pay for new portable training goals with roll-on/ roll-off facility and nets to- gether with new training equipment and kit aimed at supporting increased par- ticipation at Westfields FC in the 14-25 age group," said Wesh‘ields chief executive Andy Morris.

PREDICTIONS WESTFIELDS midfielder Craig Jones hopes Hereford FC don’t Win any trophies this season. The admission comes as the Hereford Times can reveal what some of our county sporting person- alities believe will happen this year. Hereford are still in four competitions, but chair- man Jon Hale feels they will win just two. Midfielder Rob Purdie also thinks the Bulls will get their hands on two trophies, while PR officer Jamie Griffiths says that, even though it would be great if all four cups were snapped up, the league is the priority. Westfields chief executive Andy Morris also thinks Hereford will win two, while Wellington manager Derek Williams is more op- timistic, believing the Bulls will win three. Last year, Herefordshire Sport secretary Bryan White and Matt Ferriday, who was in charge of H01- me Lacy FC, correctly an- swered three questions. They both predicted West- fields would finish eighth in the Midland Football League Premier Division, that New Zealand would win the IRB Rugby World Cup and that Australia would get their hands on the ICC Cricket World Cup. A total of 18 people were asked to gaze into the crystal ball. See Sport 03.
