It's never over till the fat lady sings was never truer than Saturday when Redditch failed at the last hurdle to lose a match they had dominated from the start.

Winning the set pieces and defennding well Redditch looked like they would take the points away to 3rd place Stourport.

However, not for the first time, they failed to leave with the spoils.

Having defended strongly in the last period of the match Redditch were camped on their own line as the clock ran down.

They won the scrum but failed to handle their ball and Stourport were able to sneak in to ground the ball for the unexpected winning score, which was celebrated in some style.

Redditch travel to Hopwood to meet Five Ways Old Edwardians in a postponed match next week.

See match report for full details.

PIcture: Jack Merhtens stretches out to score Redditch's second try.
