In 1955 Noel Watkin was in charge of the Herefordshire County Boys team. That season they played 17 games, won 10 and drew 4. There was something about the team, they were a delight to work with and had a great team bond. So when the county fixtures were over, the team asked if they could remain together as a youth side…and Pegasus Juniors F.C was born, named after the great amateur side of the era, Pegasus made up of Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduates.

It was inevitable that players would move on to higher grades of football and many did that with distinction. Noel himself finally left after 8 years. However Pegasus Juniors’ original members Jack Perks and Bob Paisley remained and they proudly gained membership into the Hellenic League in 1978 and established a Clubhouse in Hereford city centre. Originally the club played in the local Herefordshire League, where they accumulated a large number of league titles and cups, when they stepped up to the Hellenic League, they were Division One champions in 1985 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.

In 2005 Pegasus Juniors opened their new ground with funding from The Football Foundation, Football Association local trusts and directors. This facilities provides a main floodlit pitch with junior and mini football pitches. The club has gone from strength to strength and this season will have 24 teams playing under the Pegasus banner ranging from the Sunday Morning club to youth, seniors boys, girls, ladies and men.  The Club has also achieved the Charter Standard Community Award from the Football Association

In 2011 the senior men’s team opted to join the West Midlands (Regional) League Premier Division bringing a fresh challenge and a host of local derby’s for the Club to enjoy.
