Match Preview

It's a return to cup action this week as the Kingfishers travel over to local rivals Chaddesley Corbett for the first round the North Mids Vase Plate. The last time the two sides played was also in the cup and Redditch came out eventual winners and managed to progress all the way to the Plate final that year. The team is very different to the last time we travel to Chaddesley which shows how many new players have come into the club since then. A rearranged front row shows Jack, Stu and Rafa take up the challenge while Matt and Ricky recombine in the second row. The back row shows a return for John Wormington and James Matthews slips to 8 after an impressive performance last week. Kit returns to scrum half and the backs show much similarity to the team that beat Kings Norton a few weeks ago. This game will kick off at 1:15 in order to watch England thrash the Wallabies after.
