REDDITCH RFC lost their final chance to escape the bottom three with a 13-7 defeat to second-placed Pershore on Saturday.

The result leaves the Kingfishers' Midlands Four West South future hinging on a promotion/relegation picture which will not become clear until the close season.

"I have spoken to someone quite close to the league structure," said Redditch captain Andy Douglas, "and no-one seems to know what is going on."

"We don't know how many sides are going up or down and there is talk of another restructuring.

"We have no idea where we will end up and will just go out and try to win our last league game."

Fellow strugglers Trinity Guild and Dunlop lost at the weekend but second from bottom Redditch need a win to climb one place and can still end the season propping up the league if Stoke OB can pick up two points from their last two matches.

The Kingfishers are set to visit North Midlands One side Upton-upon-Severn in a friendly on Saturday (ko 3pm). And Redditch have their Easter tour the following week before finishing their season against third-placed Droitwich.

Front rows Mark Laishley and Colin Bryant are set to start.
