TWO young Hereford footballers have enjoyed a taste of the high life after treading the turf at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.
Seven-year-olds Daniel Meredith and Jake Ashford attend courses run by Atlas Coaching under the Arsenal Soccer School scheme.
The pair made such an impression that they were invited up to London to take part in the school's under-seven doubles competition against rivals from all over the country.
And Daniel, who plays for Phoenix, and Lads Club's Jake battled their way through six two-minute matches against other pairs to become the under-seven champions.
"It was a real thrill for the boys, especially as Daniel and his father, Alan, are keen Arsenal fans," said Daniel's mother Sarah.
