Not in my Advertiser! Maybe everybody was bored with the Standard (excuse the pun) read everyweek of being beaten!! How times have changed !!
Re: Why no match reports in local papers anymore????
What's the point of having it online and not in the paper? The coverage has been good so far this season but to have no match reports in the paper is no good to anyone. It comes to something when there's a match report for Alcester seconds rugby against Bridgnorth Thirds yet no Reds match report.

The point in having it on the internet is that it is immediate (normally). With the paper it is four days out of date for a Saturday game.
And what I would say about Alcester RFC is they don't get coverage other than the sent in reports.
Redditch Utd and everything that is going on at the club is invariably on the back page, along with comments from the manager (which also takes time to do).
In the USA, a town the size of Redditch would have it's own seven day a week paper, and the local sports club be covered every day.
As it is, after Christmas it could be said that Redditch supporters will be lucky to get what they do at the moment in the Advertiser with planned staff cuts afoot.
I will try and include them where possible though up till then,.

I once saw the USA thrash a Staffs Clubs League side in my home town of Rugeley. The Yanks were over for the ICC Trophy and the sixes were flying everywhere. So they do have a team, granted probably not a very good one.
But remember this, the first international match was played in New York between USA and Canada 1844 so the American were first again!!
