Redditch started quite brightly and had early opportunities but no one wanted to take responsibility for shooting and each chance was a pass too many. Bullets playing deep and attacking on the break had few chances but when they forced a corner poor defending from the Reds allowed them to prod the ball home from 4 yards.

Redditch looked they had redeemed themselves when a well worked and taken goal from Jess Lingham got them level. Not long after Redditch was awarded a penalty by Linghams effort was well saved and the Redditch players were too slow to the follow up and Bullets scrambled it away. Redditch soon after gave away a penalty when a ball bounced up and hit a defenders arm, Bullets actually put the ball in the net but the referee had already blown. It made little difference as the ball was struck firmly into the net from the spot kick.

The second half saw a similar pattern, Redditch having most of the possession but failing to to do anything with it. Another needless corner was given away and this time Bullets scored direct from this, the Redditch goalkeeper failing to pick the ball up in it's flight. Chances still came Redditch's way and at last a second goal was scored but with only a few minutes remaining and Bullets running down the clock an equaliser was beyond them.

Overall the Reds showed little team spirit other than the last few minutes of the game, a situation that once corrected will see much improved performances.
