Any thought Redditch had of a rousing finish to their home programme was soon put to bed as Five Ways scored after 5 minutes.
Fielding a markedly different side to when the two sides met in the first round the visitors showed a sense of urgency and plenty of pace.
On 20 minutes Redditch were penalised and failed to reset their defensive line as Five Ways tapped and ran to take the score to 0-12.
During the second quarter Five Ways fell foul of the referee leaking 7 penalties which kept Redditch in the game. However they could not take advantage and the score remained the same going into half time.
Strong play from both sides marked the opening of the second half before Five Ways scored again on 11 minutes.
This was repeated on 17 minutes as Redditch tired.
However on 23 minutes Aaron Atkinson made a fine run to score under the posts and peg the score back a little.
Five Ways had tightened up on their discipline and gave away no penalties in the ast quarter and looked after their own ball very well, as they saw what REdditch could do with the ball.
The result was three more tries to the visitors making an unflattering 7-47 final score.
The season's final game will be away to Keresley.
