REDDITCH Rugby Club's Development Squad celebrated their first success of the season when they secured a 54-26 triumph at Malvern.

After winning Division 3 of the Worcester and Herefordshire Merit Table last season, Redditch have found the going tough this term when playing at a higher level.

Redditch made full use of the windy elements as their backs scored freely throughout the first half.

The half back pairing of father and son Garry and James Mills proved a major factor in this Redditch victory as they marshalled their pack extremely well.

Redditch 's first team return to Midlands Four West South action this Saturday with a trip to Pershore (3pm).
