Reed won the toss and chose to bat. They got off to a steady start and runs were coming easily to the opening batsman Captain Josh Poulton and Rhodri Hughes (12), with a quick outfield Reed were getting boundaries. Sawston finally made inroads in the 14th over when the Reed Captain was caught at mid on by John Curran but not before he had made 53 runs from 45 balls. Two more quick wickets fell, John Curran showing the best of Sawston’s bowling 4-0-13-3. Reed were still short of a decent total to bowl at but cameo performances from Jesse Chappell 11 from 6 balls and Reece Fitzgerald 13 not out finally left Reed with a total of 118 for 5.
Reece Fitzgerald opened the bowling for Reed, economy was the word for the first few overs keeping Sawston below the run rate. Reece finishing his spell 4-0-13-1. After the wicket of the S Ankers fell it was up to S Baig(30) to pick up the run rate for Sawston. This he did with help from wides scoring highly off the Reed bowlers. Baig kept the pressure on but to no avail loosing his wicket when the Reed Captain got a direct hit on the stumps to run him out. Sawston were definitely up with the run rate J Curran and A Stern both getting into double figures, but then falling foul of the safe hands of the Reed fielders. More wickets fell for little runs, the best of the fielding coming from Sam Rice and Tudor Holt preventing significant boundaries and catches from Jesse Chappell (2), Jack Caine (2) Rhodri Hughes (1) and another direct hit for a final run out on the last ball left Sawston short of the total 104 for 10.
