REDDITCH United were hoping to continue their freescoring form at home to Mangotsfield United last night.

Any early season fears about a lack of goals have been firmly banished by an avalanche of 14 in four matches.

After hitting five against a stunned Stourport, the Reds helped themselves to another handful at Gloucester at the weekend.

The Tigers gave their visitors a helping hand when Jimmy Cox and manager Brian Godfrey were given their marching orders for foul and abusive language and Neil Mustoe fired over from the spot.

An FA Cup win over Alliance newcomers Grosvenor Park earned the Reds a testing trip to Eastwood Town on saturday (ko 3pm).

Town overcame lower division opposition, after a replay, in the Preliminary Round.

Eastwood sit mid-table in Division One of the Unibond Northern Premier League, the same level as Redditch in the non-league pyramid.

A win for United in the First Round Qualifying would bring a welcome £7,500 into United's coffers.

And with Conference feeder clubs entering in the next round, United could be in the draw with a host of big names like Canvey Island and Aldershot Town as well as neighbours Halesowen Town and Worcester City.

A replay, if required would have to be held at the Valley before Thursday with Tuesday the likeliest date and the draw for the Second Round Qualifying will be made on Monday morning.
