Frozen pitches re-duced the HGTA Herefordshire Junior League fixtures considerably during the weekend, particularly on Sunday morning.

Under-16 Division Weston's game at Leominster was one of the victims and they are now giving cause for concern, having only played eight league games so far this season.

Lads Club Rovers, contenders for the Under-13 title, travelled the short distance to Hinton with expectations of adding two further points to their total but had to be content with a 2-2 draw. FC Phoenix, without a game, lead the division by just one point but have played two more games than Rovers.

Orleton's fortunes in the Under -12 Division have taken a downturn in recent weeks. After the previous week's defeat to play-off contenders Credenhill, they were again second best against Hinton who must now fancy their chances of making the top four.

Kington Town and Lads Club Colts must be confident of their play-off places after comfortable wins over their stablemates Colts and Belmont Falcons respectively.

In the Under-10 Division clash between two of the teams with play-off aspirations, it was Lads Club who gained the points with a single-goal victory over Hereford Junior Dynamos.

The top three in the division seem to be pulling away from their rivals and the real competition, for the final play-off place, is between the next four teams with just two points separating them. Ledbury Swifts, Ross United Services and Bartestree all recorded victories. In the Under-14 Division clash between the two Wellington sides, the Colts could do little to halt the championship aspirations of their stablemates and conceded five goals without reply.

Under-9 Division Bartestree Rangers dented Lads Club's hopes of a play-off place with a single-goal victory. The clash between the two bottom teams resulted in Bromyard Town leapfrogging their rivals after a 2-1 away win over Westfields. Ross United Services remain top after their visit to FC Phoenix.

There is little to choose between the top five teams in the Under-11 Division, but, with games now running out, Hinton and Lads Club look to have the better chance to qualify for the final stages.

Hay-on-Wye went top of the Under-16 Division after sharing the points at Ledbury Swifts but they have played two more games than their nearest rivals.
