Following a long awaited start to the HFA Veterans League, due to unexpected pitch maintenance, Sunday saw the competition get off to a flying start.

The opening fixture between Bromyard v Ross Juniors saw Bromyard come out winners by four goals to nil. Whilst the game of the day was the Fownhope B v Fownhope A, with former Hereford United Manager Jamie Pitman taking his place in the Fownhope B side. Despite the side featuring a former professional footballer, they were held to a thrilling 4 – 4 draw.

The next fixtures take place on June 23rd at Hereford Academy, with Bromyard entertaining Fownhope A in the 11am kick off and Ross Juniors taking on Fownhope B at 1.30pm.
