ONCE again the waterlogged pitches throughout the county accounted for many fixtures in the HGTA Herefordshire Junior League.

The rearranged fixture list is now becoming a real problem, especially after the management committee increased the number of games by sanctioning supplementary cup competitions for many of the divisions. Dates have to be found for well over 100 rearranged fixtures between now and the end of April

Credenhill's chances of an Under-12 Division play-off place took a nosedive when they went down by the single goal to Hinton. Hinton's chances of making a top-four spot is now a real possibility. To make things worse for Credenhill, their other main rivals all won - Kington Town at Orleton, Lads Club Colts against their stablemates, and Ledbury Swifts at Kington Town Colts.

The top game in the Under-15 Division saw the two top teams come head to head. Not unexpectedly, it was Lads Club who maintained their 100% record with a 2-0 home win over Bartestree Colts.

Under-16 team Weston got back to playing football and registered a disappointing 3-3 draw against Bromyard Town, who picked up their second point of the season.

Hereford Junior Dynamos registered a 5-0 win at Hinton and in so doing went to the top of the Under-14 Division. Wellington Colts could not maintain the form of the previous week and went down to a single goal at home to Westfields.

Just five teams are now in contention for a play-off place in the Under -11 Division. FC Phoenix Milan have games in hand over their rivals and could, with the right results, make the play-offs.

With four games to play in the Under-11 Division the championship play-offs could be between any four from the leading seven teams. With the top game postponed, Leominster Minors, Hereford Junior Dyna-mos, Wellington and Lads Club all took advantage to increase the pressure at the top.

Under-9 Division side Ross United Services need just two points from their three play-off games to claim the championship.
