Derby Day Again In F.A. Cup ....
For the first time in seven years the Red's have made it through to the 'Third Qualifying Round' of the
F.A.Cup and yet again the draw has set up another mouthwatering local derby as the Red's have
been drawn away at local rivals Solihull Moors.
The last time Redditch Utd made it through to this stage of the competition they lost 0 vs 1at home to
lowly Arnold Town of the Northern Counties League on Saturday October 12th 2002 so they will be
hoping for a better show this time around in what promises to be another tough encounter.
The tie will take place at Damson Park on Saturday October 10th kick off 3.00pm.
The Red's earned the right to face The Moors in the next round after a tight two legged affair starting with a 1 vs 1 draw at The Valley Stadium on Saturday and culminated with a 0 vs 2 replay victory over a spirited and stubborn Stratford Town at Knights Lane on Tuesday evening.
The Moors on the other hand did the job at the first attempt but only just as they booked their place in the 'third qualifying round' of this year's competition by overcoming a 0 vs 2 lead to run out eventual 3 vs 4 winners away at Mickleover Sports of the Unibond First Division South.
As with the Stratford Town tie the links between the two clubs are many with former Red's skipper Lee Downes and defender Liam Daly both moving from the Reds to the Moors, Mickey Moore was also a former manager of the club in its former guise of Solihull Borough where John Reeves, the Red's current goalkeeper coach, was a part of the backroom staff.
The Moors have asked us to pass on information regarding the fixture in that the bar will be open before the match as normal and also that car parking is available but is limited and the car park usually gets very full on match days close to kick off time.
The admission prices for Saturday's match are £10.00 Adults and £5.00 Concessions including children. In the event of a draw on Saturday the replay will take place at The Valley Stadium on Tuesday October 13th kick off 7.45pm with admission prices as normal.
