SATURDAY:
With one week of the Herts League programme remaining, the positions of the Club’s Teams in their respective divisions are as follows:
Firsts: 6th in the Championship;
Seconds: 5th in 4B;
Thirds: 10th in 8A;
Fourths: 4th in Regional B East.
Here is what happened today.
Firsts: Scored 132 in response to 204 for 8 by Luton Town & Indians. Toby Fynn took 3 wickets and Ed Garrott scored a forty.
Seconds: Won by 11 runs in the gloom at Reed. Phil Frenay made 112 and Richard Johnson 66 with some impetus lower down the order coming from Matt Sampson and Karl Ward bolstering the total in the final overs of the innings to 289 for 5. Northampton Exiles made a great run-chase but ended on 278 for 6.
Thirds: Could only muster 120 all-out with James Crouchman scoring his first ever half century. It was never enough although Berkhamsted went from a comfortable 110 for 2 to a slightly disturbing 123 for 6 before they got over the line. 2 wickets each for Owen Hughes, Jack Childs and Matt Giblin.
Fourths: Almost up with the asking rate throughout, Reed managed to score 167 for 7, falling 16 runs short at Tewin who had totalled 183 for 9. Paul Garrott was 70 not out at the end. Matt Yates, Steve Hughes and Neil Haslam took 2 wickets apiece during the afternoon session.
SUNDAY:
The Tour match against Wetherby (Yorks) was cancelled. The “Reedsters” went to Headingley to watch Yorks versus Surrey and met-up with Rob Key for a chat!
Expect Match Reports to follow shortly.
