Hereford 15 Stratford upon Avon 20 Hereford welcomed visitors Stratford upon Avon to a wet and muddy Wyeside and lost a match, full of handling errors.

Newent 43 Hereford 14 Hereford travelled to Newent, top of the league and unbeaten in eight games. They started well, but were unable to prevent the hosts making it nine.

Hereford 16 Moseley Oak 15 Hereford contested a close-run match with visitors Moseley Oak at Wyeside in conditions more suited to water polo than rugby.

Hereford 20 Malvern 20 Hereford opened the new season at Wyeside with a draw against local rivals Malvern.
