The Mariners secured a place in the FA Cup first round proper last weekend when they eased to a 4-0 win against Spalding United and that has set up an eagerly anticipated home tie with League Two side Shrewsbury Town in two weeks time.

However, Watson and his players have plenty to focus on before their attention turns towards their attempts to cause a major cup upset as they return to league action when Hereford visit the 1st Cloud Arena on Saturday afternoon.
