The Under 13s lost by 29 runs to Saffron Walden “A” last week. Walden made 109 for 7, wickets to Will McIntosh (2 for 16), Sam Osborne (2 for 18), Adam Gardner (1 for 23) and run-outs achieved by Sam Osborne and Ross Gardner. But Reed scored only 80 for 5 in their 20 overs in reply, Charlie Walters made 20 and Sam and Ross scored 14 each.
The Under 11s beat the Thriplow’s Under 13 Girls on Tuesday. Reed scored 77 for 4 leaving them with a net score of 257. Thriplow Girls also lost 4 wickets but scored only 55 which meant their net score was 235. Reed won by 22 runs. Wickets fell to Adam Gardner, 1 for 0, Jacob Vincent, 2 for 2, and Edward Cook, 1 for 0. There was an excellent anchoring partnership between Adam Gardner and Tom Green with Adam hitting the only boundaries of the match to reach 21.
SATURDAY, LEAGUE:
The Firsts knocked Ampthill all out for 99 after first scoring 244 for 8. James Heslam top-scored with 83 and Ed Wharton passed 50, then wickets fell to Jack Tidey (3) and Ed Wharton, Toby Fynn and Tom Greaves (2 each).
At the Green, Reed Seconds could not complete the “double” as Ampthill’s Seconds were all-out for 210 but could muster only 177 in reply. Julien Fynn had taken 3 wickets and Mitchell Cooper, George Garrott and Rupert Martin 2 apiece but whilst Phil Frenay scored 50 and Matt Sampson 34, there was not enough impetus to challenge the target.
Over at Freman Oval, the Thirds were shot-out for 139 (Owen Hughes, 30 not out, Paul Garrott, 28 and Mike Robertson, 20), and Hitchin got the best of the pitch knocking-off the runs with the loss of only 3 wickets, two of them falling to Zac Conley.
SUNDAY:
Potten End overhauled Reed’s 213 for 5 with 6 overs to spare without losing a wicket. In Reed’s innings Mike Robertson retired after hitting a century and earlier Rich Barlow had made fifty.
