SATURDAY – HERTS LEAGUE.
Shenley Village recovered from losing 3 early wickets for next to nothing to 138 for 9; Tom Greaves returning 4 for 58. But Reed could manage only 106 in reply; Greaves 20 and Zac McGuigan 20 and slipped to third place in the Division.
The Seconds saved fuel by not having to travel to Northampton Exiles. The game was cancelled because of an unfit pitch.
Bushey scored 207 for 7 against the Thirds on the Freman Oval, Toby Emes taking 3 for 50. The run chase was again led by Mike Robertson with 58 and Rob Willoughby with 31, but it was the eighth wicket pairing of Lloyd Bowman and Kieran McKinna that edged Reed over the line, seven wickets down but with only 3 deliveries left.
SUNDAY.
I counted 7 past or present Reed Colts in the Hare Street & Hormead line-up in Sunday’s friendly. The visitors closed on 172 for 8, Steve Hughes taking 4 for 33. But despite a sixty from Rich Barlow and thirties by Rob Lankester and MJE Baker, Reed were all out 4 runs short.
COLTS:
The Under 9s (1) won against Sawbridgeworth on Friday. The match against Braughing involving the U9s (2) team the same day was cancelled.
Expect Match Reports to follow shortly.
