Victories for the Firsts and Thirds but a 2 wicket defeat for the Seconds.
On the Green, Reed accumulated 267 for 7 helped mostly by 58 assorted extras by Flitwick! Batting-wise, Reed’s Will Heslam, James Heslam and Rob Lankester passed 40 whilst Ed and Rich Wharton reached the thirties.
Flitwick were never in the hunt and thanks to Toby Fynn’s 3 for 31 and Karl Ward and Sean Tidey taking 2 wickets each, the visitors were bowled-out for 150.
Over at Northwood Town, Reed’s Seconds managed only 163 for 8. Jack Caine, Matt Bowles and Rich Barlow made scores in the twenties but could not press-on. The hosts did not have it all their own way as Bowles with 3, and Matt Giblin and George Garrott (2 wickets each), helped by a Chris Jackson direct hit run-out, made Northwood Town battle it out to 164 for 8 before they passed Reed’s total.
The high-scoring ground at the Freman Oval saw Reed 3rd XI reach 256 for 4. Leading the celebrations was Rob Willoughby with a maiden ton of 115 not out. In support, MJE Baker scored 45, Mike Robertson 32 and Zac Conley, 28 not out. Shenley Village chased hard but fell 14 runs short for 242 all out. Steve Hughes and Baker took 2 wickets each.
