Hereford Pegasus Football Club is a football club based in Hereford, England. The club is affiliated to the Herefordshire County FA. Pegasus Juniors Football Club run a total of 23 teams and provide football for all ages, starting from the age of five. The club's first team plays in the Hellenic League Premier Division, and junior teams play in the Herefordshire Junior Football League, Herefordshire Girls Football League or the Midland Junior Premier League.
The club was formed as Pegasus Juniors in 1955 by a group of players from the Herefordshire County Boys team who wished to continue playing together. Their name was inspired by the great amateur team Pegasus.
Originally the club played in the local Herefordshire League, where they accumulated a large number of league titles and cups, until in 1982 they stepped up to the Hellenic League. In 1985 they were Division One champions and promoted to the Premier Division. Eight years later they were relegated but bounced back at the first attempt. In 1995 they were relegated once again due to their ground failing new guidelines, but in 1999 they returned to the Premier Division where they remained until relegated in 2011, where they opted to join the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division, rather than drop into the Hellenic League Division One West to minimise travel.
A season of consolidation followed before a much improved seventh-place finish in 2012–13. A change of management ahead of 2013–14 led to a second-place finish.
In the 2009–10 season, they reached the second qualifying round of the FA Cup when they travelled to Football Conference side AFC Telford United having defeated higher graded Willenhall Town and Hednesford Town along the way, however they were unable to progress any further losing 4–1 in front of a crowd of 1,136.
In 2019, the club changed its name to Hereford Pegasus.[1] The club, along with other local clubs, was transferred from the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division to Hellenic League Division One as part of a reorganisation at step 5 of the National League System.[2]
Pegasus won promotion to the Hellenic League Premier Division in the 2021–22 season after defeating Worcester Raiders 3–0 in the play-off final.[3] The club finished 8th in the Premier Division the following season.
Prior to the 2023–24 season, the club parted company with joint manager Dave Cadwallader, leaving Mark Hibbard in sole charge.[4] Former Hereford United player and manager Jamie Pitman joined the coaching staff in June 2023.[5] The club also made significant changes to their senior team structure off the pitch, renaming their reserves side to Hereford Pegasus Development.[6]
Key
Hereford Pegasus play at Old School Lane, named the KGD Stadium for sponsorship reasons.[7]
In December 2018, the club were granted permission by the local council to replace the grassed playing surface with 3G artificial turf.[8] Work began in June the following year and was completed ahead of schedule in August, ready for the 2019–20 season.[9][10]
