Reed cruised to victory on Saturday against Hatfield Hyde thanks to inspired batting from James Heslam and Chris Jackson. Bowling first Reed got off so a superb start with Will Clarke cleaning up 2 of the Hatfield batsman in consecutive balls in his 2nd over. However McCann and Somani put on 135 for the 3rd wicket to put Reed back on the back foot. With Jackson bowling a marathon spell of 18 overs (2 for 60) of tight slow bowling and Richard Johnson bowling tightly from the other end meant that Hatfield Hyde had to attack and the reintroduction of Clarke (6 for 47) saw Reed bowl out the opposition of 218.

In reply Reed got of to a pacy start with Baz Curtis scored 26 off 8 overs before falling with the score on 26. However this bought to the wicket the in form Chris Jackson to bat alongside James Heslam. With both batsmen looking in no trouble, they started to stroke the attack to all corners of the ground. With both batsman passing 50 without offering any chances to the opposition Reed looked in a solid position. Jackson went for 58 and Heslam went shortly after for 82. However with Reed only needing 38 to win Johnson and Stuart Smith, who in doing so scored their first league runs of the season saw Reed home with 7 overs to spare.
