REDDITCH United surrendered the lead in a 2-1 defeat against Gainsborough Trinity in the first round of the FA Trophy.

The Reds took the lead courtesy of Liam Loughlan’s goal on 53 minutes at the Valley Stadium.

However, Lewis Butroid drew Gainsborough level moments later before Sisa Tuntulwana completed the turnaround late on.

Gainsborough play at the same level as Redditch and ply their trade in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.

After a goalless first half, the Reds broke the deadlock early in the second period as Fabian Reynolds left two defenders on the floor before cutting the ball back to Loughlan who applied the finish.

However, Gainsborough equalised less than a minute later when Butroid found the top left corner from the edge of the penalty area.




And Trinity turned the game on its head nine minutes from time as Tuntulwana raced in on goal and finished through the legs of Tyrese Warmington.

Redditch are next in action against Barwell on Saturday, November 1 with kick-off at 3pm at Kirkby Road.
