This season was curtailed: 8 league matches were played out of a full programme, and the table above is the standing as it stood when play stopped rather than the outcome of a completed season. It is shown here because it is the league's own published record, and the played column is the number to read it against.
2020/21 sits 1 place below 5th in 2023/24, the club's best finish in this division.

How the division finished
Match-by-match detail
A match-by-match list is not published for 2020/21. The fixture data available for this season cannot be reconciled with the league's own final standings, which is a consequence of the fixtures that were scheduled and then voided when the season was curtailed, and a list that disagrees with the record it is meant to detail is worse than none. The final table above is the league's published record and stands on its own.
The division in 2020/21
Coalville Town won the Premier Central in 2020/21 on 17 points from 7, 5 of them wins, with a goal difference of +16. Behind them came Needham Market on 17 and Stratford Town on 15. At the other end Nuneaton Borough finished on 6, Leiston on 5 and Barwell bottom on 4.
That is a spread of 13 points from top to bottom across 22 clubs, and the midpoint of the table sat on 9. Coalville Town scored the most, 21, and Coalville Town conceded the fewest, 5. Read against those numbers, Redditch scored 14 and conceded 11.
4 clubs finished above Redditch on points, and 1 finished level with them, separated on goal difference. In 2020/21 a full programme for 22 clubs was 42 matches, and 22 of the 22 records stop short of that, so the season was not completed as scheduled. Redditch finished 5 points behind the champions and 8 clear of the bottom club.
How the 2020/21 table divided
The top five were Coalville Town on 17, Needham Market on 17, Stratford Town on 15, Rushall Olympic on 13, Tamworth on 12. Coalville Town carried the division’s best goal difference at +16 and Barwell the worst at -11.
11 clubs finished within three points of Redditch: Stratford Town on 15, Rushall Olympic on 13, Tamworth on 12, Stourbridge FC on 11, Royston Town on 11, Kings Langley on 11, Hitchin Town on 10, St Ives Town on 10, Peterborough Sports on 9, AFC Rushden & Diamonds on 9, Lowestoft Town on 9. One result either way could have left Redditch anywhere from 3rd to 14th in 2020/21. Across the division 166 club-matches were recorded, from 6 to 9 per club.
Per match, Redditch took 1.50 points from 8 played, against 2.43 for Coalville Town, a gap of 0.93 a game. With 8 matches played, the per-match figure is the one that compares 2020/21 with a completed season.
Why the 2020/21 record stops short
22 of the 22 clubs in the division did not reach the 42-match programme, with played totals running from 6 to 9. A table read as though it were complete would rank clubs that had played different numbers of matches against each other, so the figures on this page are the league’s own final standings for 2020/21 and nothing is extrapolated to a full season.
This also explains why the match list is not published for 2020/21. The 2020/21 record here comes from the league’s table, which is authoritative; a fixture list that cannot distinguish an abandoned match from a genuine goalless draw would disagree with it, and the disagreement would be invisible to a reader.
The cup competitions in 2020/21
Redditch entered 1 cup competition alongside the league programme in 2020/21: FA Trophy (1 tie). That is 1 tie on top of 8 league matches in 2020/21.
The FA Trophy run ended with 2–3 against Nantwich Town, at the Valley Stadium, on 31 October 2020.

2020/21: the questions this table answers
Where did Redditch United finish in 2020/21?
6th of 22 in the Premier Central, on 12 points from 8 matches — 3 won, 3 drawn, 2 lost, 14 scored and 11 conceded for a goal difference of +3.
Who won the division in 2020/21?
Coalville Town, on 17 points from 7 matches. Barwell finished bottom on 4, a spread of 13 points across the 22 clubs. Redditch sat between Tamworth (12) and Stourbridge FC (11).
How many points per game did Redditch average in 2020/21?
1.50 per match. Over an 8-match programme that is the rate the final position rests on; the division's champions managed 2.43 and the bottom club 0.57.
Why is there no match list for 2020/21?
The division's table records 8 matches for Redditch in 2020/21 and the league's fixture record carries 42. The two cannot be reconciled from the source, so this page publishes the table — which is the standing that counted — and withholds a match list it would have to guess at.
Why is 2020/21 shorter than a full season?
The season was curtailed: 8 of a scheduled 42 league matches were played. The table above is the division's final standing as recorded, and the page withholds a match list it cannot reconcile rather than publishing a partial one as if it were complete.
