Reed 4s travelled to Datchworth for a game that ultimately had to be abandoned due to rain. Captain Rob Willoughby won the toss and decided to bat. Openers Ben Bowles (9) and Peter Baker (46) started steadily on a slow pitch where scoring was not easy. The fall of two quick wickets brought young Jack Caine to the crease who immediately looked to up the run rate with some nice shots to score 18. After Caine was caught, Willoughby came to the crease and scored 85 not out. Willoughby was notably supported by Mike Naeem (20) and Joe Graves (16 not out). Reed scored 211 for 8 in their 47 overs.
In reply Datchworth looked to score quickly, but good bowling by Graves and under 15 Jack Childs, prevented them getting away whilst creating chances for wickets. In the end the rain got the better of the game, but Graves did get a wicket thanks to a catch by Alan Ward. There was also a very good run out thanks to a direct hit by Caine.
