Waterlogged pitches accounted for the majority of games in the HGTA Herefordshire Junior League and, in those played there were few surprises.

A 2-2 draw between two of the Under-10 Division play-off contenders was of more value to Ross United Services than Hereford Junior Dynamos who had only themselves to blame for throwing away a two-goal half-time lead.

The other Hereford Junior Dynamos team enhanced their chances of Under-14 Division honours with a hard earned 2-0 victory over Wellington Colts. The result could have been closer had not Dynamos keeper Chris Griffiths saved a penalty when the score was 1-0. Bartestree, in second place, got back to winning ways with a similar scoreline at home to Hinton.

Hinton Under-12 are making a late challenge for a play-off place and moved into sixth place after a comfortable win over Belmont Falcons.

FC Phoenix Milan moved into an Under-11 play-off place with a 5-1 win over their stablemates Real.

Just two points separate the top four teams with Ross Town a further five points behind with two games in hand. Ledbury Swifts and Lads Club look certain to qualify for a play-off but Hinton, after their 1-1 draw at Wellington, could be the team to drop out of the top four after the final games next week.

Lads Club Rovers overcame their stablemates 5-2 in the Under -13 Division but FC Phoenix did their best to prevent a gap opening with a comprehensive win over Pegasus Juniors.

Fownhope were the high scorers in the Under-15 Division, registering nine against luckless Ledbury Swifts, while Bartestree Colts in second spot had to be satisfied with a share of the points with Leominster Minors.

With Hay-on-Wye's game postponed in the Under-16 Division, Leominster Minors took advantage and moved back to the top after a close 3-2 win over visiting Ledbury Swifts.

Hinton are short of players for their Under-10 side.
