Berkswell & Balsall Vets 7 Redditch Exiles 42

REDDITCH Exiles ran out easy winners despite the referee not turning up and the veterans starting with an extra player.

A touchline ref took control of the whistle and the Exiles took control of the game from the kick-off with Paul Hughes going over with just seconds on the clock.

Team-mate Kenny Hadley did most of the running for the Exiles after scoring an amazing five tries.

All his tries were from at least 30m out and in all cases men were beaten or knocked over.

There was a change of refs at halftime but Redditch were always in the driving seat and were comfortable winners.

Paul Buck had two attempts disallowed, which would have flattered the score line, and Tommy Cresswell with his magic boots converted six out of six.

This weekend the Exiles entertain rivals Bromsgrove.
