UNBEATEN Redditch dumped Kingswinford at the bottom of West Midlands Division One with an impressive 5-1 thumping.
Steve Cook started things off for the home side after 10 minutes from a well-worked penalty corner.
Winger Tom Hiles netted his second of the season from just inside the 'D' before Anthony Brookes made it three at the halftime whistle.
Andy Brookes got the fourth soon after the restart before the visitors pulled one back, thanks to a penalty corner.
But Kingswinford's consolation fired Redditch on again and Anthony Brookes managed a late fifth.
Redditch showed their strength in depth late on as young keeper Will Chandler replaced captain Ash Freeman 10 minutes before the end.
Winger Tom Hiles said: "It was a bit of a flattering scoreline really.
"We didn't play anywhere near where we can - we just didn't apply ourselves."
Redditch will be hoping to continue their unbeaten form as they visit fourth placed Leamington on Saturday.
