A second-half brace from defender Liam Francis was not enough for Redditch United who twice surrendered the lead in going down 4-3 at Farsley Celtic.

Roy Stamer put the home side ahead but Redditch levelled on 38 minutes through Andy Ducros.

Francis then put Redditch ahead three minutes after the break only for Stamer to equaliser with his second.

Again Francis struck for Redditch, but late goals from Lee Ellington and Gareth Grant secured Farsley's win.

Redditch manager Gary Whild told BBC Hereford and Worcester:

"Our goalie (Danny Lewis) has put his hands up and said he has had a poor game and two of the goals were down to him.

"He is honest enough to do that and he has saved us on numerous occasions.

"I think he is one of the best in the league and has the potential to go higher but that is the sort of character he is."
