Hereford Under-12s turned in a fine all-round performance to win the prestigious annual South of England Junior Rugby Festival at Bournemouth.

Teams represented counties from as far afield as Cornwall, Wiltshire, Dorset, Sussex and Surrey and Hereford produced a sound attacking display, while captain and fly-half Ollie Cross and full-back Alex Lane gave notable individual efforts. In the final Hereford beat Wimborne 15-5.
