SUMMER signing Tim Sills bagged four goals as Hereford United romped to a 10-0 win at Ludlow Town in their first pre-season friendly.

Graham Turner fielded a strong side in the first-half and they built up a commanding 7-0 lead with trialist Marcus Palmer getting in on the act.

Sills laid back Andy Wil-liams' cross for Palmer to drill in the opener from 10 yards on just seven minutes.

Williams added a 20-yard screamer before Sills powered home a header from Rob Pur-die's corner.

Sills, signed from Oxford, added three more goals -- from close range, with a volley and nodding in another cross.

The seventh was the result of a Dave McMullen own goal from Palmer's centre before Turner rang the changes during the interval, introducing a host of trialists.

Stuart Fleetwood fired home a penalty and sub Alan Con-nell -- a 23-year-old striker released by Torquay United -- scored two, including a spot-kick.

Meanwhile, Kidderminster Harriers open their pre-season friendly campaign when they visit Southern League Premier Division side Gloucester City tonight (7.45pm).

Manager Mark Yates is ex-pected to give all seven of his close season signings a run-out at some point.
