FOOTBALL - Redditch United fail to end winless run over festive period

REDDITCH United saw their winless run stretch to six matches following a 2-0 defeat away at Bishop’s Stortford.

A pair of quickfire goals from Nahum Melvin-Lambert and Fabio Virciglio after the break condemned the Reds to defeat at the RDA Stadium.

That came after Redditch played out a goalless draw with Banbury United at Valley Stadium on Boxing Day.

United slipped to a late 2-1 defeat at Halesowen Town in their last game before Christmas as Conor Tee scored an injury time free-kick.

The results mean Redditch sit 10th in the Southern League Premier Central table, six points outside of the play-off places.

At Bishop’s Stortford, the home side took the lead on 49 minutes when Redditch failed to deal with a flick-on which allowed Melvin-Lambert to find the net.




And Virciglio doubled the home side’s advantage six minutes later as Virciglio turned the ball home from close range after Ollie Taylor failed to claim a cross from the right.

Redditch are next in action against Stourbridge on Wednesday, January 1 with kick-off at 3pm at the War Memorial Athletic Ground.
