Inter Rednal delivered a commanding performance against Stoke Prior, securing a resounding 4-0 victory in their league home match at South Redditch on 10 August 2025. The match kicked off at 10:45 am, with referee Matt Firth overseeing the proceedings as Inter Rednal showcased their attacking prowess and defensive solidity throughout the encounter.
Inter Rednal lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, designed to maximise their attacking options while maintaining a strong defensive base. Paul McNeil took his position in goal, shielded by a back four comprising Richard Lynch on the right, Shaun Tierney and Guy Schwarm in central defence, and Lee Jagger on the left. The midfield trio featured Daniel Connoly on the right, Jason Quinn in the centre, and Cameron Walker on the left, providing both creativity and support to the forwards. Up front, Charlie Neath operated on the right flank, with Ellis Rielly as the central striker and Jack Steele on the left, forming a dynamic attacking trio expected to exploit any defensive lapses from Stoke Prior.
The substitutes for Inter Rednal included Ben Troth, Louis Baker, Tom Glenncross, and Cam Luke, who would later play pivotal roles as the match progressed.
The scoring opened in the 24th minute when Ellis Rielly found the back of the net, capitalising on an assist from Lee Jagger. Rielly's strike set the tone for the match, as Inter Rednal began to dominate possession and create further chances. Just seven minutes later, Cameron Walker doubled the lead, again with Jagger providing the assist, showcasing the left defender's exceptional ability to contribute in attack.
As the first half drew to a close, Jack Steele added a third goal in the 41st minute, once more assisted by Jagger, who was proving to be the standout performer of the match. With a commanding 3-0 lead at half-time, Inter Rednal looked set for a comfortable victory.
However, the second half began with a moment of concern for Inter Rednal as Shaun Tierney received a yellow card in the 52nd minute for an unspecified infringement. This did little to deter their momentum, and in the 63rd minute, Ben Troth replaced Jason Quinn, bringing fresh legs into the midfield.
Louis Baker entered the fray shortly after, taking over from Charlie Neath in the 67th minute, as Inter Rednal continued to press for more goals. The fourth goal arrived in the 73rd minute, with Rielly netting his second of the match, assisted by Neath, who had returned to the pitch with renewed energy after his earlier substitution.
As the match approached its conclusion, Tom Glenncross came on for Shaun Tierney in the 70th minute, adding further depth to the defence. In the 86th minute, Cam Luke replaced Lee Jagger, who had been instrumental in the team's attacking play.
Despite Stoke Prior's efforts to find a consolation goal, Inter Rednal's defence held firm, and the match ended with a comprehensive 4-0 victory. This performance not only highlighted Inter Rednal's attacking capabilities but also their resilience at the back, setting a strong precedent for the rest of the season.
