Sawston won the toss and chose to bat. Obviously an experience batting side they moved the ball around the field picking up singles with the odd boundary. Although Reed could not get wickets, Sawston were not exactly piling on the runs. At the halfway point they were on target for around 110 which Reed would have been happy with. The second half of the innings was much the same. Reed’s wickets came too late 5 in the last 4 overs but then Sawston done the damage at the end with a good final over leaving Reed a run chase of 127. (Not the 110 they were hoping for). Sawston opener Z Ives made it to the 18th over for 34 runs other contributions came from L Goss 11 and R Mison 21 off around 6 balls! Zac Conley was the pick of the bowling 1-0-3-2.
In reply Reed were always just behind the run rate. After loosing 2 early wickets Connor Poulton and Josh Coldicott Stevens built a good partnership till the 11th over when Connor lost his wicket to a catch by Mison on 19. Josh went on to top score with 24, but Mison struck again taking his bails in 18th over. Reed were never in with a shout and ended innings on 85 for 7, 41 runs short of victory. Best of the Sawston bowling attack was W Rolph, 3-0-11-4.
