GOALKEEPER Craig Mawson has insisted Hereford United are confident of ousting stubborn Nationwide North outfit Alfreton Town tonight (7.45).

The Bulls are chasing an away draw at Conference South side Cambridge City and £10,000 cash prize by winning the FA Cup fourth qualifying round replay at The Impact Arena.

Mawson kept his second clean sheet in a row during Saturday's 0-0 stalemate at Edgar Street when Hereford had the better of the chances.

And he intends to take full advantage of replacing Wayne Brown, who is not allowed to figure in the cup by his club Chester City despite being on a season-long loan.

Mawson said: "We've got to go there and produce what we know we can produce.

"I don't think any of the lads have played up there (Alfreton) before, so it will be an eye-opener for us.

"They will use every advantage they can and will probably have a good gate with us coming.

"We know it's going to be a tough game but we're more than confident we can go up there and get the result we want."

Boss Graham Turner will be able to call on left-back Alex Jeannin whose one-match ban for picking up five yellow cards does not now apply until Saturday's big Nationwide Conference derby at Kidderminster Harriers.

On-loan striker Matt Bailey is also available before his loan expires later this week though no decision has been made over any possible extension.

Turner admitted: "I was disappointed not to have won on Saturday, but the important thing was we didn't get caught with the sucker-punch, because that was always on the cards."

And Mawson said: "I've had busier games. But I think you have to give Alfreton a little bit of credit. They set their stall out and they made it hard for us."

The Bulls 'keeper also praised his opposite number, Birmingham City academy starlet Adam Legzdins, who will be aiming to keep out the Bulls again tonight.

He added: "He made a one-in-a-million save at the end."

n Hereford have an eye-catching home draw with League One outfit Port Vale in the LDV Vans Trophy second round late next month, while Harriers must travel up to Boston United.

Meanwhile, Bromsgrove Rovers head to Bedworth United in Southern League Division One West tonight (7.45).

Rovers were knocked out of the FA Cup by Morecambe on Saturday but have been in good form and will look to push their way into the top 10.
