A Development League game against Sawbridgeworth saw some impressive batting performances by Reed’s up-and-coming stars. Batting first, Reed carried on after an early loss, with George Greaves (22), Matt Austin (26) and a hard hitting knock from Tom Greaves (46) including 8 fours and a 6, gave Reed a strong platform to reach a large total. ‘Bunker’ Hazzard (26*) also asssited as Reed closed on 193 for 9.
However, the Reed bowlers lacked penetration and had trouble taking wickets when they mattered. Julien Fynn took 2 for 51 and Fergus Martin 2 for 22, but Sawbridgeworth made their way steadily to 194 for 6 and a win by 4 wickets.
