Return To Action Is Pointless .....
Tuesday 19th January 2010
Redditch United 2 vs 1 Eastwood Town
The Reds were unlucky not to get a share of the spoils at The Valley as they returned to
action following a series of postponements.
High flying Eastwood came from behind with a fine winning goal, despite Redditch taking
the lead after only 20 seconds.
Matt Blair pumped the ball forward towards the box and somehow it found its way into the net.
Redditch then tried hard to increase the lead, Joe Clarke sending a half volley wide.
Then David Bridgewater sent in a free kick which Eastwood defender Robinson tried to clear and in doing so, he almost sliced it into his own net.
The first shot from Eastwood came on 19 minutes when Foster shot weakly at Danny Lewis and he easily saved.
Lewis was again called into action three minutes later when he turned a Meikle shot round the post.
But Eastwood were level on 28 minutes when Danny Holland stole in behind the Redditch defence to put them back in the game.
Holland almost produced an equaliser when his cross from the left frund Meikle at the far post on 37 minutes but the ball went just wide.
Luke barlone headed an Andy Ducros cross jsut over the bar two minutes before half time.
The second half was fairly devoid of chances until the 74th minute when Redditch substitute Jozeph Jakab produced a back header which flew just wide of the visiting keeper's post.
But just a minute later, Holland produced a superb winner for the visitors when he latched onto the ball from around 25 yards out and smashed it home.
Redditch pushed for an equaliser and Joe Clarke produced a great save from goalkeeper Eley but it was Eastwood's night.
