Wolverhampton 27 pts Hereford 5
HEREFORD'S promotion ambitions took a nosedive with a shock defeat to bottom-placed Wolverhamp-ton in Powergen Midlands 2 West.
The Wyesiders recorded a club record 101-6 win over Wolverhampton early in the season and were looking to complete a double to maintain a challenging place.
But Wolves gave their visitors an object lesson in the art of rugby and ran in five tries to one and dominated in every department.
Home-side winger Jamie Midler-Price cut through Hereford's flat-footed defence for the first of his two tries as the visitors remained pinned in their own half, and sub Alan Grant took advantage of a rolling maul for another try.
Full-back Rod England converted to make it 12-0, and Wolverhampton fly-half Corrie Sweeny darted in for try number three within a minute of the restart as Hereford continued to flounder.
Centre John Treacy added to Hereford's misery with Wolverhampton's fourth try - and Midler-Price buried the visitors to make it 27-0 - before scrum-half Ben Jenkins emerged from the bottom of a pile-up to claim five points for the visitors.
