About Hereford Lads Club
The Hereford Lads
Club was founded in 1925 for under privileged boys by Mr J Mackay with the aim
of providing young boys with the means to become men through sport, emphasising
gentlemanly conduct and good sportsmanship, and originally catered for gymnastics and boxing before developing junior football teams.
In January 1940 Hereford Lads Club was destroyed by fire and sadly all early records were lost. Thankfully the club was rebuilt on its present site overlooking Widemarsh Common after the land was generously donated by Mr W R Bufton together with donations from many local businessmen. In the 1960s and 1970s Hereford Lads Club blossomed and was attended by as many as 170 young people per night, creating a great community spirit.
