HEREFORDSHIRE will be checking on the fitness of star bowler Kevin Cooper before naming their side for the Minor Counties Championship Western Division clash against Cheshire at Boughton Hall on Sunday.

Cooper has missed the last two matches be-cause of a knee injury. If passed fit he will take over from the injured Mark Horrocks.

It is fourth-placed Herefordshire's last away match of the season and they will go into it three points adrift of leaders Cornwall. Cheshire are in seventh spot.
