DARREN Knurek is set to be on the bench tomorrow night when Hereford United visit Cambridge City in the FA Cup first round.

Evesham United's teenage goalkeeper (pictured) has signed forms with the Nationwide Conference outfit to act as cover for the Bulls who have been told by Chester City that season-long loan signing Wayne Brown won't be able to play in the competition.

Goalkeeping coach at Edgar Street, Bernard Day, has kept a close eye on the young Common Road custodian in addition to overseeing the future of another ex-United keeper Karl Lewis.

The latter played for Alvechurch in the FA Cup back in August and he is also ruled out after sitting on the bench for Hereford in the LDV Vans Trophy.

Manager Graham Turner is taking the precaution of having back-up available after seeing Exeter City's goalkeeper red-carded after a mere two minutes against Manches-ter United last week.
