Spennymoor Town v Hereford
National League North
Saturday 9th August 2025, 3pm
The Brewery Field

The Opposition
Hereford’s form during the second half of last season was almost enough to see them gatecrash the National League North play-off places.

After a wonderful run of form during the early part of 2025, Paul Caddis’ side seemed to run out of steam during the run-in and back-to-back defeats in their final two games put paid to their promotion hopes.

However, it’s been another positive summer for The Bulls, and they will be hoping that they can build on the optimism built up last term with another successful season.

Caddis has been busy reshaping his squad and fans were delighted when he was able to secure the permanent signing of goalkeeper Theo Richardson and tie down influential midfielder Omari Sterling-James to a longer deal.

Previous Meeting
Moors were victorious when the sides last met back in February as Glen Taylor’s 200th goal for the Club helped Graeme Lee’s men to a 2-0 triumph at Edgar Street.

Olly Dyson’s free kick had set the ball rolling for Moors against a Hereford side who had won three in succession beforehand and went on to win another five in a row afterwards.
