HINCKLEY United player-coach Dale Belford ins-ists success against Worcester City tomorrow will come before family loyalties.

The 40-year-old goalkeeper, the father of City's on-loan custodian Cameron, will be in the opposition dug-out for the Blue Square North encounter.

But Dale, who last played for the Marston Stadium club in a 2-1 Setanta Shield victory at Alfreton Town on November 13, is putting his current side first.

He said: "In the normal scheme of things with Cam-eron playing for Worcester, I have been looking out for their results and hoping they do well.

"First and foremost, you look to see how the team has done and how he's played.

"Unfortunately, on Saturday we have to put that to one side and hope the club you're working for get the best result.

"It's going to be a very difficult day but I am sure we'll get through it."

Dale has further links with the fixture after spending a spell as a player-coach at Tamworth alongside City manager Richard Dryden. But he is adamant that helping haul his current employers away from the drop-zone is the top priority.

He said: "We are well aware of the magnitude of the game for ourselves regardless of myself and Cameron.

"I was at Tamworth with Richard as a player-coach and it's just going to be a difficult game.

"It's always a difficult place to come and get a result, regardless of the situations involved."

Cameron has committed himself to Worcester this week by extending his loan spell from League Two side Bury until the end of the season.

The teenager has proved a valuable asset in the long-term absence of Danny McDonnell but Dryden knows Bury can call their keeper back at just 24 hours notice.

Cameron became an immediate hit with the City faithful by saving a penalty in his first game for the club, the 1-1 draw against Barrow on December 1.

The 19-year-old started his career at Championship outfit Coventry City where he was sent on a week's loan to the Lambs in 2006, when he worked alongside Dryden bef-ore getting a move to Bury in the summer after being released by the Ricoh Arena outfit.
