Reed thirds continued their recent good form this week with another victory this time against Sawbridgeworth. The opposition captain won the toss and elected to bat first on the Freman College ground. M. Bursun (55) made up a large percentage of the visitors total as others struggled for runs. Chris Peckett led the Reed bowling attack taking 4 for 50. Whilst the bowling change introducing Richard Robertson (7-3-18-2) seemed successful. Julian Fynn (7-1-14-3) got the ball to move in a long way to take his three wickets. Kallum Ward (8-3-29-1) also bowled well and took the last wicket ending the Sawbo innings with a target of 144 runs and 51 overs to get them.
Reed made up the runs in only 35 overs, captain Matt Bowles looked in good form until he was out LBW for 28. R. Robertson also looked comfortable at the crease making 35 before being caught behind. Maseeh Naeem made 15 but it was Alan Ward (14*) and Marcus J.E. Baker (12*) who were the men not out as Reed won by 5 wickets.
