Over the course of 2 weeks, clubs and teams from across the county descended on Hereford to play in the end of season cup finals. Both of the counties youth leagues, the Herefordshire Junior League and Herefordshire Girls League as well as the HSFA between them managed to organise a fantastic few days of football which showed off the depth of talent in the county. Representatives from each of the respective organisers have provided us with a brief rundown of the finals and cup winners. Click the link at the bottom for photos courtesy of Will Cheshire
