The Redditch Round Up: 18/12/2012

New Signing: Polish Striker Patryk Sikora

Redditch United are about to begin a crucial run of fixtures over the festive period, starting with Hitchin Town this Saturday. Four of the games to be played in the next month are against sides that are all within 2 points of Redditch, so this could well be a defining moment in the club's season. Redditch did not play this past weekend due to Arlesey's involvement in the F.A Trophy. Fortunately, Hitchin were thumped 8-2 by league leaders Hemel Hempstead, so they did not jump above the Reds and they stay in the drop zone.

As the first team have not played for over a week, there is now a friendly match Tuesday night (18th) at the Valley where the first team will be taking on the reserves. This will serve as good preparation for Saturday's game against Hitchin. Admission is free  and Kick Off is at 7:30PM.

Redditch have moved to bolster their attack for these coming games with new signing Patryk Sikora from Polish 2nd tier side KS Cracovia. Sikora has not played for 6 weeks so don't expect to see him immediately make his first team début. However, Sikora did get a run out for the U21 side on Saturday and bagged himself a goal in the process. 

Finally, the Bashley home fixture that was postponed for a second time last week has now been rescheduled for Tuesday 15th January.
