REDDITCH men had a chance to put their feet up after being without a league fixture this week and scheduled East Midlands Division One opponents Ashby cried off.

But Redditch fell further behind the pace at the top of the West Midland league with Walsall moving into third place after beating leaders Droitwich 4-2.

Meanwhile, second placed Whitchurch outplayed strugglers Market Drayton beating them 9-1.

Redditch Ladies also had break as they had no league or friendly duties but will be back to friendly action this week as they take on neighbours Droitwich.
