Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman is looking forward to crossing swords with last season's Conference rivals Hereford United again on Saturday.
Both sides won promotion to the Football League in the summer and the Stanley chief believes their relatively successful starts to life at a higher level hints at the quality of the Conference.
"We know all about each other and there's been a bit of rivalry between the sets of fans so it should be a good game," he said referring to Saturday's meeting at Edgar Street.
"If the team that came up with us had struggled maybe people would have thought it wasn't the best league to win.
"But they've done really well and we've done okay ourselves, so it shows it was a difficult league to get out of last season."
