HEREFORD United will visit fellow League Two side Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup third round.

Rovers, who meet the Bulls in the league on Boxing Day, won 1-0 at League One Bournemouth in Tuesday night's replay, thanks to Richard Walker's 63rd-minute goal.

The third round tie will be played on Friday, January 5, as Bristol City are at home to Coventry in the competition the following day and police do not allow both sides to play at home at the same time.

In addition, Bristol Rugby Club, who share their Memorial Ground base with Rovers, host Northampton Saints on Sunday, January 7.

Hereford's League Two match at Shrewsbury on Saturday, which kicks off at noon, is expected to go ahead despite the Gay Meadow pitch currently being under water.

The Shrews' pitch flooded this week when the river Severn burst its banks but local fire crews were today due to pump excess water from the playing surface in time for the game.
