HEREFORD FC could win another unprecedented treble.
The Southern Football League have confirmed the winners of the Southern League Division One South & West will face the winners of the Central Division to decide the overall champions.
Billed as the ‘Championship Match’, the fixture will take place at 3pm on Saturday, April 29 at the ground of the team that has the best league playing record during the season.
Hereford – who could also win the HFA County Challenge Cup – are 15 points clear at the top of the South & West Division and are odds-on favourites to win it, despite suffering their first league defeat at the hands of Taunton last Saturday.
The Bulls have 72 points – nine more points than Royston Town, who are currently top of the Central Division.
The Championship Match will be on the same day the play-off semi-finals take place, with a trophy presented to the captain of the winning team and medals awarded to players and officials.
Should Hereford be involved in the match and it takes place at Edgar Street, Hereford could be a footballing hotbed on that Saturday. Westfields complete their Midland Football League Premier Division campaign at home to Walsall Wood, with the league title conceivably on the line.
* A similar match happened in the 1958/59 season.
Hereford won the north western section of the Southern League, but lost 2-1 to south eastern winners Bedford Town in the ‘grand championship decider’.
