Hereford 2nd scheduled Bedworth opponents pulled out and they took on a strong Old Patesians side at short notice.

Old Pats from Cheltenham continued their unbeaten run with a well-deserved victory. They gave a solid display and rarely allowed Hereford the ball. Hereford’s only try came from Richard Mason. Hereford never gave up and Rob Welsh gave a solid performance in the front row.

Another test awaits second place Hereford next Saturday when they travel away to Old Laurentians.
