REDDITCH complete their warm-up programme for the Birmingham Senior League season with a friendly against arch rivals Studley.

The neighbours had contrasting fortunes last season with Division Two West outfit Redditch looking on as their Eastern counterparts lost the title on a nailbiting final day.

But Redditch have looked good in their friendlies, recording a nine wicket win over Victoria Blakeley and a 105 run victory over Bewdley.

The only black mark was an 84 run defeat to Bromsgrove and with Australian Daniel Fredrick joining as their new overseas player the Bromsgrove Road side are confident of a better season, starting at Studley's Washford Fields ground on Saturday (1pm start).
