Reeds development side hosted Knebworth at The Green in what would turn out to be an entertaining game of cricket.
Batting first, Reeds promising opening partnership of Tom Greaves (15) and captain Fergus Martin (13) ended when Martin was controversially given LBW with the score on 32. Reed continued adding runs nicely, R. Barlow (13) and Michael Naeem (16) keeping the score board ticking over. But with these runs came wickets falling at steady intervals until the sixth wicket partnership of George Greaves (41*) and Mitchell Cooper (19) calmed the waters. Playing well the two were sensible in keeping their wickets whilst adding runs. Cooper was eventually caught trying to up the score but Greaves continued to the end playing a good game. Reeds final total off their forty overs was 155 for 8.
In reply Knebworth did well in getting a good start, openers Patel (19) and Digweed (22) watching the pace of Jack Tidy (7.1-1-30-1) M. Cooper (8-2-22-0). Having removed the two openers Reed put pressure on the Knebworth batsmen and bowlers Julian Fynn (7-1-13-2), F. Martin (6-0-25-2) and Keiran Ward (5-0-27-1) took wickets, but Thorne (42*) kept his side on track to leave them victors with 3 wickets and 1.5 overs to spare.
