After last weeks upbeat match against Tipton, this game was always going to be a tester. With 3 players absent from last weeks team the dynamics of the side changed, and whilst squad players replaced them the balance wasn't quite there and it took a little while to get any kind of play going.

The teams appeared to want to just kick the ball back and forth between them and it took a smashing goal from Lingham before Redditch started to produce any football of note. Bullets worked hard and had some nice touches but seldom threatened, any attack was dealt with by the 'new ' back four line up. Stanley with a cool one on one finish and Leroux scoring an 'intelligent' goal added to the tally to reach the half time whistle with a respectable score given the chances.

The second half saw much the same with chances be made only for the final finish not to be there, the Reds began to grow in confidence though and with Christy Thomas being moved from the back four into midfield a more progressive Redditch started to capitalise on the possession. Goals from the ever willing Leroux and Lingham were added to by Stanley who completed her first hatrick of the season. Lingham was unfortunate not to also have three goals after a simple tap in finish was adjudged offside although the ball appeared to be played backwards from Stanley.

In a game of little skill on the soft and uneven pitch, Frampton show that endeavour pays rewards and Lingham started to see the benefit of competing for every ball. Next week will show another changed team due to player availability and this set of players needs to show the same competitive spirit to extend the teams current good run of form.
