SALISBURY received a 4-0 mauling by Hereford who sealed the Southern League Division One South and West title on Saturday.

Two goals from Mike Symons, either side of strikes from Jamie Molyneux and Pablo Haysham, secured back-to-back promotions for the Bulls as nearest rivals Taunton and Tiverton both lost.

The action-packed game attracted a season's-best crowd of 1,807 at the Ray Mac, with about 600 fans from Herefordshire making the trip.
