THE top game in the Under-14 Division of the HGTA Herefordshire Junior resulted in a comfortable away win for Bartestree over Wellington and they now lead the section by four points.

In a re-arranged Dave Howes Cup tie, Hereford Junior Dynamos entered the semi-finals stage after a 5-1 defeat of Ross United Services.

Under-12 Kington Town maintained their challenge for the championship with a comprehensive away win at Fownhope to increase the gap at the top following Lads Club Colts' proud 100 per cent record disappearing with a home defeat by challengers Orleton. Credenhill's win at bottom-of-the-table Wellington moved them into fourth place.

Under-13 championship contenders FC Phoenix registered what appeared to be an easy victory but their main rivals, Lads Club Rovers, conceded three goals before claiming the points at Leominster Minors. Weston's win at Wellington gave them fourth spot with games in hand.

There was little change at the top of the Under-16 Division with Leominster Minors scoring the odd goal in three at Weston, while Belmont Rangers got back to winning ways against Bromyard Town. Hay-on-Wye climbed into third spot with a home win over Ledbury Swifts.

Under-9 Ross United Services remain top of their league after a comfortable win over Dynamo Bartestree but Ledbury Swifts maintained their challenge with a win at Kington Town.

Ross United Services and Ledbury Swifts are level at the top of the Under-10 Division after wins over FC Phoenix and Lads Club Villa respectively.

Just one point separates the next three places after wins for Leominster Minors and Hereford Juniors Dynamos. Lads Club, who were without a game, still lead from Bartestree but the teams are now level on points after Bartestree's defeat of Orleton
