Hereford RFC ended the year on a high note with a resounding 36-12 victory over Whitchurch, thanks in large part to the heroics of right winger Iwan Holder, who scored an impressive hat-trick of tries.
The match, played at Hereford's home ground, saw the team dominate from the outset, with Holder's pace and agility proving too much for the Whitchurch defense to handle.
Holder's first try came early in the game, as he capitalizes on a well-worked move by the Hereford backline, showcasing his impressive speed and agility as he sprinted down the wing to touch down.
The home team's momentum continued to build, with Hereford's pack providing a solid platform for their backs to attack from, and it wasn't long before Holder was crossing the try line again, this time after a clever interchange of passes between the Hereford centers.
As the game wore on, Whitchurch struggled to contain the Hereford attack, and it was only a matter of time before Holder completed his hat-trick, which he did in style, beating several defenders with a mazy run before touching down for his third try of the game.
Despite the scoreline, Whitchurch refused to give up, and they managed to score a couple of consolation tries, but it was too little, too late, as Hereford had already wrapped up the win.
The victory marks a triumphant end to the year for Hereford RFC, and they will be looking to build on this momentum as they head into the new year.
For Iwan Holder, his hat-trick of tries will undoubtedly be a highlight of his season so far, and he will be looking to continue his rich vein of form as the team pushes for further success in the coming months.
