Reed cruised to an easy win over Royston at the heath on Saturday. Batting first, Reed were a class above Royston, with James Heslam making easy working of the Royston attack, hitting a fine 100. Chris Jackson (66 not out) and Richard Jerome (53 not out) then steered Reed to amass a total of 255 – 2 in their 40 overs.

In reply, Royston were always struggling to deal with Reeds bowling attack and failed to match the required run rate. As wickets fell so did Roystons chances of winning, and saw them being bowled out for just 98, with Pete Tidey the pick of Reeds bowlers picking up 3 for 24.
