COLTS:
All the eights! Both Wenden Under 11s and Reed Under 11s lost 8 wickets but Wenden scored 8 runs more than Reed, (91 plays 83).
SATURDAY (SHPCL):
We have reached the halfway stage of the Herts League season.
After 9 fixtures, the Firsts are 7th in the Championship Division. In the latest match at The Green, Langleybury were bowled out for 201 (4 wickets for Tom Greaves, and 3 each for Ed Wharton and Sean Tidey), but although coming tantalisingly close, Reed too were bowled all out for 194; James Heslam scored another fifty and both Tidey brothers passed forty.
The Seconds were at Stevenage and after a good start they faltered to 213 all out. Chris Jackson was out soon after reaching his half-century and Phil Frenay was also in the runs. Stevenage lost 6 wickets before overhauling the target with 3 of the wickets falling to Matt Bowles.
The Seconds find themselves 4th in Division 4B.
The Thirds again had a beating at Freman College. Picking up only 7 points from this match against Mill Hill Village it’s unsurprising to see Reed Thirds at the foot of the table in Division 9A. MHV totted-up 275 for 4 and in reply Reed were all out for 145. Top scorer was Keiren McKinna (39) and Mike Robertson (33) and Jack Childs (29) also chipped-in.
SUNDAY:
It was a ton-up for Toby Fynn in the friendly against Forest Gate. He was 115 not out and Owen Hughes scored 49 in Reed’s 226 for 4. Steve Hughes took the only Foresters’ wicket to fall as they sailed to 227 for 1.
Village Cup News – for those interested in this season’s events (since Reed were knocked-out in Round 2). Langleybury (Beds & Herts) lost to Worlington (Essex & Suffolk) last weekend which gives Worlington home advantage when they host our near neighbours, Foxton (Cambs & Norfolk), next Sunday, 8th July, at 1300hrs.
Expect Match Reports to follow shortly.
