HEREFORD Football Club has secured its third successive promotion.

The Bulls were crowned champions after traveling down south to beat Biggleswade Town on Tuesday night.

Midfield stalwart Rob Purdie scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot to spark wild celebrations among the hundreds of visiting fans.

The victory means Hereford will move up to either the Conference North or Conference South Division next season.

Hereford FC are a phoenix club who formed when Hereford United were wound up in December 2014 over debts owed to HM Customs and Revenue.

But the thoughts of court cases and unwanted London owners are now a long way off as all eyes look towards another season in a higher level of football.
