Reed bounced back from their Saturday disappointment in great style to win their National Village Cup Area Final at Eversholt by Five wickets.
Batting first Eversholt kept up a good run rate despite losing two early wickets to Richard Johnson 1 For 37 and the evergreen Peter Tidey 1 for 29.
A 91 partnership between Muzawazi and Litchfield upped the rate and at 177 for 3 the hosts looked good for a score in excess of 250. However, Chris Jackson with his leg spin took 3 for 55 and the cunning medium pace of Jason Archer 1 for 44, stopped the free hitting and held Eversholt to 230 for 9 in their 40 overs.
Reed set off like an express train in pursuit of their target. A cameo 28 from Michael Curtis led things off but Captain James Heslam with an 83 ball 96 led the visitors home. Chris Jackson 31, Phil Frenay 21 and an unbeaten 23 from Tom Fulk saw Reed Home with 13 balls to spare. They now meet the winners of the Bucks Area Final in the next round.
