MOSELEY recovered from a nervous start to score a deserved 34-17 victory in their final game at The Red-dings.

With the weight of 120 years of history bearing down on them they were predictably shaky and spent the first 20 minutes on the back foot despite playing down the hill.

But once they got playing they outscored Worcester by five tries to three and left Geoff Cooke's side with another poor end of season result.

They have now lost their last four games away from Sixways and were undone by another sack-load of mistakes and poor tackling.

"We were second best today," said coach Geoff Cooke. "There wasn't much in the game overall but every time Moseley got in close they took their chances and scored.

"We killed ourselves with poor tackling and a lot of mistakes.

"We said at half time we had to hold on to the ball and we felt the game was still winnable as were we playing down the slope, but we didn't compete.

"All the faults we've seen for a while away from home happened again, a lack of heart and application, it just wasn't good enough and Moseley thoroughly deserved their victory."

Worcester went in front twice in the first half hour with tries from Jim Jenner and Brett Scriven but trailed 29-10 by the hour mark before Nick Baxter gave them a glimmer of hope with his 13th of the season.

Neil Lyman then had a try controversially disallowed for not grounding the ball and so Worcester's season came to another disappointing end.

"It's been a disappointing season full stop," said director of player management Phil Maynard.

"We seem to have gone from crisis to crisis since Christmas and it has been difficult to motivate the team and not knowing what is happening off the field makes it hard to keep the players going.

"Personally I feel we need to keep the core of the squad, get some stability and rebuild our confidence."

But on a historic day for Moseley, Maynard said he will not miss The Reddings.

"What is the Reddings? It's a poor stadium in the middle of the city with nowhere to park," he added.

"A lot of famous people have played here and there have been famous games, but times change and clubs must move forward or find themselves in the position Moseley are in."
