THE Blues are on their travels for a second game out of four in a row this weekend, as they visit Worcestershire side Redditch United, for more league action.
Leiston came from behind on Tuesday night at Hitchin to gain a 1-1 draw, with the Blues grabbing a point thanks to a last-gasp Jamar Loza strike in the 96th minute. Earlier in the match, Billy Johnson had saved a Coree Wilson penalty but the same player gave the hosts the lead on 76 minutes. The point meant Leiston fell to 19th in the league table, and it was the Blues fifth league draw of the campaign in ten games so far.
Redditch United have started the season well and are in 5th place currently, which is the last play-off spot. They lost last Saturday however to AFC Sudbury at home by two goals to one, but bounced back on Monday night with a 1-0 win at Barwell.
