Reed consolidated their position at the top of the Division 8 with another emphatic win. Sandridge elected to bat having won the toss but were soon ruing that decision as Andrew Emms made the most of a wicket of uneven bounce.

Aided by some smart catching Emms took 4-12 in 10 overs as Sandridge slumped to 18-5. Allsopp and Robertson kept up the pressure and skipper Heslam held 3 sharp catches. At 39-8 Sandridge looked unlikely to take the match to tea but Perrin 17 and Cropp 22 gave the total some minor respectability before Archer 2-24 and Ian Roberts 2-16 closed out the innings.

Reed were never troubled when batting. Ian Fulk led the charge to the winning total and once he fell Paul Watts 22* and Chris Shorrock 18* saw Reed home to another 30 point haul. Reed II remain unbeaten this year 20 points clear at the top of the table.
