HEREFORD Rugby Club will be able to reflect on a successful and satisfying season when they hold their annual meeting at their city headquarters next Thursday at 7pm.

The Wyesiders will look back at a campaign which saw them win Midlands 3 West (South) and gain promotion back to Midlands 2 West.

Hereford will have local clashes with Cheltenham North, Malvern and Bromsgrove to look forward to in the new campaign and will hope that their promising youngsters maintain the development shown in the 2006-7 season.

The city side will now be operating just one step below county rivals Luctonians who preserved their Midlands 1 status with a memorable final-day victory against section champions Luton.

But with Hereford celebrating after leaving Midlands 3 West (South) from the top, there was disappointment at the other end of the table with Ledbury relegated to Division 4 West (South) Whitchurch and Stoke will return to the Midlands Leagues structure for next season having been level-transferred back from the North Leagues.
