Redditch United finished 5th in the Premier Central in 2023/24, on 70 points from 40 matches: 21 won, 7 drawn and 12 lost, scoring 65 and conceding 52 for a goal difference of +13. That is 1.75 points a match.

Leamington finished immediately above on 71 and Stratford Town immediately below on 69. Needham Market took the title on 85 from 40, and Nuneaton Borough finished bottom on 0.

This remains the club's best finish in the Premier Central since the division was formed.

Needham Market won the Premier Central in 2023/24 on 85 points from 40, 26 of them wins, with a goal difference of +40. Behind them came AFC Telford United on 82 and Mickleover FC on 81. At the other end Long Eaton United finished on 22, Berkhamsted on 21 and Nuneaton Borough bottom on 0.

That is a spread of 85 points from top to bottom across 22 clubs, and the midpoint of the table sat on 52. St Ives Town scored the most, 87, and Nuneaton Borough conceded the fewest, 0. Read against those numbers, Redditch scored 65 and conceded 52.

4 clubs finished above Redditch on points. In 2023/24 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 15 points behind the champions and 70 clear of the bottom club.

The top five were Needham Market on 85, AFC Telford United on 82, Mickleover FC on 81, Leamington on 71, Redditch United on 70, and the gap from fifth to sixth was 1 point. Needham Market carried the division’s best goal difference at +40 and Long Eaton United the worst at -70.

2 clubs finished within three points of Redditch: Leamington on 71, Stratford Town on 69. One result either way could have left Redditch anywhere from 4th to 6th in 2023/24. Across the division 840 club-matches were recorded, from 0 to 40 per club.

Per match, Redditch took 1.75 points from 40 played, against 2.13 for Needham Market, a gap of 0.38 a game.

22 of the 22 clubs in the division did not reach the 42-match programme, with played totals running from 0 to 40. 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 2023/24 and nothing is extrapolated to a full season.

This also explains why the match list is not published for 2023/24. The 2023/24 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.

Redditch entered 3 cup competitions alongside the league programme in 2023/24: Emirates FA Cup (3 ties), FA Trophy (3 ties), Worcestershire Senior Cup (1 tie). That is 7 ties on top of 40 league matches in 2023/24.

The Emirates FA Cup run ended with 1–3 against Peterborough Sports, at the Valley Stadium, on 18 September 2023.

The FA Trophy run ended with 2–1 against Rushall Olympic, at the Valley Stadium, on 18 November 2023.

The Worcestershire Senior Cup run ended with 0–0 against Alvechurch, at the Valley Stadium, on 12 February 2024.
