Reed lost the toss and were asked to bat in this Sunday friendly game. They got off to a good start with Tom Fulk and Jeffrey Wornham putting on 56 for the first wicket. When Fulk and Andy Goodship went qucikly, Ed Blissett took up the challenge, scoring 51. Reed eventually declared on 175-9.

In reply, Taylor Sports found runs hard to come by against accurate seam bowling from Will Clarke 10-5-8-0 and Jim Allsopp 6-1-20-0 and seemed to give up the chase and settled for a draw. The pick of the Reed bowlers was Neil Haslam.
