Hereford reach final

Hereford United reached the final of the HFA Senior Invitation Cup with a 4-1 win over Kington Town at Edgar Street this evening. Danny Lemon netted the first two and the others were scored by Andy Williams and an own goal.

Ben Scott was captain this evening but in general the team was comprised of players from the youth squad other than striker Andy Williams, who was replaced after sustaining an injury in the build up to the fourth goal. Sam Gwynne, who was named on the bench in a couple of league games earlier in the season, was also among the starters.


The attendance was 257.

It is beleived that the final of this Cup may be played as a pre-season game in late July or early August.

Westfields are the other finalists.
