COLTS:
The long trek to Mildenhall ended in a victory for the Under 13s on Thursday. Batting first, Reed scored 127 for 1 with Sam Osborne retiring on 35, Ross Gardner 30 retired, Adam Gardner 18 not out and 10 each from Matt Liebenberg and Charlie Walters. In the bowling, Ross, Charlie and Matt snapped-up 2 each and there was 1 each for Sam, Oliver Keenan and William Green as the hosts managed only 103 all out in reply.
The Reed Under 11s lost to the newly-created City of Cambridge CC’s youngsters by 17 runs on Friday. Reed scored 73 for 6, (243 net) and CoCCC 75 for 3 (260 net). Wickets went to Jacob Vincent, Oliver Keenan and Miles Keenan.
SATURDAY, HERTS LEAGUE:
The Whartons contributed 83 runs (Ed 53, Rich 30) of Reed First Team’s 140 in a losing cause chasing Hemel Hempstead’s 186. Ed had taken 2 wickets earlier, so too did Tom Greaves, but Sean Tidey took 3 for 2 and claimed a run-out.
George Garrott was undoubtedly Man of the Match in the 2nd XI’s clash against Northampton Exiles. Having routed them for 114 with 6 wickets, George then top-scored as Reed lost 9 wickets in their successful run-chase.
There was nothing quite as dramatic at Ball’s Park for the Thirds although Rob Willoughby did snare 4 of Hertford’s wickets for 22 as they were bowled all-out for 177. Reed’s reply did not even reach the drinks interval and they were shot away for just 51.
SUNDAY:
Regular opponents, Outlaws CC, made 208 for 5 and Reed responded with 185 for 9. Ross Gardner took 2 wickets and younger brother, Adam, 1. Debutant Khalid Maidan also registered a wicket. Reed’s batting star was Richard Johnson who batted almost through the entire innings but fell for an attractive 90 with only 1 delivery remaining.
