In the final fixture of the season, Reed's Sunday side, led by stand-in skipper Matt Giblin, travelled to the picturesque Stansted Hall & Elsenham ground. Fielding just 9 players, Matt lost the toss and Reed were sent in to bat. Opening up for Reed were Rich Barlow and Scott Nash, who set the side off to a great start, with Nash in particular looking to dominate the opening attack. Nash fell for a quick-fire knock that included 5 fours and 3 sixes. Barlow continued in fine form, batting sensibly to reach his fifty. He then accelerated, alongside the able Will Archer who together added 110 for the second wicket. Will played some glorious shots, including some lofted drives over the infield, before an unfortunate run-out left him just short of his own fifty. Barlow eventually fell agonisingly close to his hundred at 90, in a superb innings containing 17 boundaries. Some quickly scored runs from Giblin (18) and youngster Matt Ladds (28 not out) led Reed to a final total of 235 off their 40 overs. A competitive total on a wicket that offered something for both bat and ball. Reed took to the field, and got off to the best possible start, with opening bowler Aiden Woodcock taking 2 wickets in his first over. Aiden continued to bowl superbly, beating the bat on many occasions. Steve Hughes supported him well from the opposite end, but was unlucky not to be rewarded for some generally tight lines. However, Stansted Hall's captain Jacob Talbot led a strong counter attack, forcing the Reed fielders to the fence, as he hit countless boundaries and reached an immaculate century at the point where his team had scored just over [...]

At the end of a disappointing season in the Premier League, the Firsts left it with a spirited display against perennial powerhouses Welwyn. Having inserted the opposition, skipper Tom Greaves must have been delighted to see them reduced to 15 for 3 thanks to an opening attack of Matt Giblin (2 for 16) and Toby Fynn (1 for 28). However the entry of ex-England star Owais Shah and Mohammed Rizvi proved to be match changing as the pair built a stand of 112, despite some economical bowling from this year's find, Kapil Dave, who conceded just 28 runs from his 10 overs and often troubled the batsmen. When Shah was finally stumped by Sean Tidey off Greaves for 62 it only served to bring in Van Der Westhuisen who contributed 38 in another century stand with Rizvi. 51 came from the last 4 overs as Rizvi finished on 125 not out, although Rupert Martin took two wickets in the last over as Welwyn totalled 250 for 6. Reed started in fine form with Rob Lankester (47) and William Heslam (41) compiling a century opening stand, only for both to be dismissed pulling in consecutive overs. Greaves then took responsibility for the scoring, making 35 in quick time, only to be out caught in similar fashion. With the innings now petering out, Tidey took control hitting 5 boundaries, but he could not protect the tail and was bowled attempting another big hit, last out for 29. Reed made a commendable total of 189, despite a number of regular players being unavailable. Although they only won two games during the season, another half a dozen were close run affairs, so Reed can take heart from their first [...]
