For the final Sunday game to be played at Reed for the 2010 season the spectators were treated to a fine display of performances from both sides.
Reed fielded first under the command of Paul Garrott who opened with Lewis Fitzgerald and Christian Martin. L. Fitzgerald returned fantastic figures of 4 overs 3 maidens 2 runs for 1 wicket, whilst Martin also started well bowling his full eight overs for 16. Tom Trimble and George Garrott both bowled seven overs but went unrewarded as they suffered at the hands of Newland (42) and Isaac (100*).
Dominic McOrmish bowled a sensible spell of 2 for 37 from his 6 overs, whilst the young Reece Fitzgerald delivered yet another impressive performance of 1 for 22 from his 5. The Blues finished on 200 for 4.
Opening the response for Reed were Paul Garrott and Kallum Ward, who started at a similar steady rate as the opposition had done in the first innings. Garrott (5) was bowled by Gibson (8-2-19-1) and was replaced by John Kershaw (15) who was himself given out from a run out. With Reed on 51 for 2 from 15 overs Marcus J.E. Baker joined Ward at the crease and the pair took on the bowling which was now a lot gentler after the openers had filled their quota. Baker beat Ward to his half century as they carefully combined boundaries with quick running between the wickets. A succession of boundaries from Baker brought up the winnings runs with 5 overs remaining. Ward had played a fantastic innings for his 71 whilst Baker made 91, the pair had made an undefeated partnership of 150 from only 19 overs.
