Black Horse take the Premier Division lead

Redditch Editorial 16th Feb, 2015 Updated: 18th Oct, 2016   0

BLACK Horse took over the leadership of the Redditch & South Warwickshire Combination Premier Division with a 6-0 victory at Hizza United, which made it five wins from as many league matches as Brendan Hicks grabbed a hat-trick.

Austin Ex-Apprentices kept the pressure on the title favourites with a 5-3 local derby victory at home to Rubery Bridge. Andy Nicol scored a hat-trick in the first half hour through open play, a penalty and a free kick as the Austin took a 4-0 first half lead.

However, Bridge responded in the second half as Andy Penny scored twice, before a second Nicol penalty put the result beyond doubt, although Rubery again reduced the deficit on 90 minutes.

South Redditch pulled off a shock 2-1 victory in the BSA Cup at Church Hill and now face Mayfly for a place in the semi-final.




Shaun Maynard added another hat-trick to his season tally as Sporting Club Redditch kept up their challenge for Division Two honours with an 8-0 success at Redditch Cross, whilst Winyates Wanderers’ 6-3 victory over visitors Evesham United Sunday also kept their challenge on track.

In the Jim Fleeman Cup, Division One leaders Rocklands survived a giant-killing by holding off Division Two leaders OKH Sporting Dynamo in a close 2-1 home win to reach the semi-finals.


Alistair Nash scored twice as CBH Fasteners reached the quarter-finals with a 3-0 success over visitors Alcester Town.

Games do not come much bigger in the Redditch & South Warwickshire Combination than Church Hill against Black Horse, which takes place on Sunday at Studley Sports & Social Club as Church Hill seek a victory which would return them to top spot in the Premier Division.

Also in the Premier Division, the Feckenham derby sees South Redditch take on Hizza United. Games kick-off at 10.30am.
