Redditch United remain deep in relegation trouble at the foot of the Blue Square North table after a 3-0 defeat at Gainsborough Trinity.

The sides went into the game level on points but Trinity had the victory wrapped up by half-time.

Luke Beckett netted twice in the first period with Lewis McMahon also on target from the penalty spot.

Redditch regrouped after the break but seldom looked likely to make serious inroads into Gainsborough's lead.

Redditch United manager Gary Whild told BBC Hereford and Worcester:

"We had a reaction at half-time and kept a clean sheet [in the second half] so as a manager you now have to move on.

"We have got a big game on Tuesday [against Droylsden] and luckily the other results went for us today.

"It's another game gone and it's as we were really, so that is the bonus to take from today."
