Herefordshire League 2 Newport & District League 0
THE Hereford Times Herefordshire League completed the double over the Monmouthshire BS Newport & District League in a match arranged as part of the two leagues' centenary celebrations.
Following their 1-0 win in the first game, played last season, the Herefordshire League wrapped up victory in the return match due to two second-half own goals at Hereford Leisure Centre.
The defences were dominant in the opening 45 minutes, but despite some early pressure from the visitors after the break, it was the home side who took the lead courtesy of a Newport own goal.
Herefordshire extended their lead through another own goal and held out against a concerted effort from the visitors, who went in search of a consolation.
