Following heroic performance against Worcester Redditch picked up several injuries and were unable to field a competitive team for the trip to Hereford.
However with the coach booked and paid for we opted to play the match as a friendly and give Hereford the bonus point win.
Playing with some adapted rules and 12 aside Redditch played their hearts out against the very strong table topping Hereford side, scoring 4 tries in the process, something not done by too many sides at the Riverside this season.
The final score of 60-26 was irrelevant as the official scoreline was 0-0.
Aaron Atknson (2), Matt Allen and Michael Allen scored tries for Redditch while James Mills converted 3 of these.
Branden Paterson won the man of the match award after a strong performance on his debut for Redditch.
See the full story in the match report.
Things will become a lot more serious next Saturday as we host local rivals Five Ways Old Edwardians at Bromsgrove road with kick off at 2:15 pm.
