HEREFORDSHIRE'S junior footballers are, at last, enjoying the opportunity of winding down after their extended season came to close.

The unusually wet weather in January, February and March resulted in some of the divisions being forced to extend their programme with the under-17 competition still finishing their fixtures at the end of May.

During the summer months, the Hereford Times will be featuring pictures of some of the league and cup winners and runners-up.

This season's Mailes Cup winners LC Galaxy under-10 are joining Hinton FC next season to compete at under-11 level and are seeking new players to increase their squad for the nine-a-squad game.

Anyone interested in a trial should contact Shaun Harris on 07773018644.
