Smith and Ward (KL) lead the way in Village Cup victory

Reed faced local rivals Hare Street and Hormead in the First Round of the 2021 National Village Cup. Having lost the toss, Reed were put into bat. and were in trouble at 13 for 2 after just 5 overs. A century partnership between Stuart Smith and Kallum Ward led the revival. Once Ward was out for 61 off just 46 balls, skipper Ed Garrott took up the reins with a further 70 runs added before Smith fell for 75 off 83 deliveries. Garrott (49) fell agonisingly short of his fifty. Michael Robertson (39) added some useful late runs with the lower order. Reed finished on 271 for 7 off their 40 overs. Hare Street opened their batting with former Reed colt Reece Fitzgerald and Hugh McNamara. McNamara fell early bowled lbw by Julien Fynn (5-0-25-1). Fitzgerald and Steel set about upping the run rate, Fitzgerald was out for exactly 50 with the score 99 for 2. Reed now tightened the screw in the middle overs with Giblin (8-1-14-3) and Garrott (8-0-41-1) leaving the visitors on 116 for 5, Chris Jordan supported Steel through a 47-run partnership for the 6th wicket, before Rupert Martin (7.5-0-44-2) and Karl Ward (6-0-44-2) returned to wrap up the innings for 169 in the 35th Over. The hard-hitting Steel might have brought-off a miracle if he had continued, and was tantalisingly close to a three-figure score when he was out, much to the relief of the Reed faithful. Reed now face Preston in the 2nd Round on 9th May after they had beaten Sharnbrook & Brougham comfortably in their Round 1 tie. Match report submitted by Neil Haslam.

Cooper has Flitwick over a barrel in Reed win

Reed faced Flitwick in a 45 over friendly on Saturday. Flitwick inserted the hosts after winning the toss. Max Sanderson fell early but Ed Wharton carried on from his slugfest of the previous week with a 24-ball 21. Skipper Tom Greaves (51) and vice-captain Rob Lankester (39) took the score to over a hundred. A brief cameo from Jack Caine (21) brought Mitch Cooper to the crease. He punished any loose deliveries. After Greaves' dismissal he carried on with the lower order before falling for a 58-ball 77. Reed ended on 268-7. Bedfordshire and Flitwick captain George Thurstance opened the visitors' reply and looked to dominate the Reed opening attack. The 50 came up off just 45 balls. Fellow opener Amin fell with the score on 61, after a quick 30-run partnership with his brother Harry. Thurstance fell for a 46-ball 60. With their skipper now gone Flitwick appeared to go into their shell. Skipper Greaves 9-2-28-2, Kapil 9-1-44-3 and 14-year-old Sam Osborne 9-0-48-2 all took wickets at regular intervals. Even late runs from Peters with 33 and an unbeaten 43 from Hassan wasn't enough and the Beds. side fell 37 runs short. Much report submitted by Neil Haslam.

Ed’s up for Reed in Ely victory!

Reed began their 2021 season with a home friendly against the City Of Ely CC. Winning the toss on a sunny but cool day at The Green, Ed Wharton and Will Heslam opened the batting with Wharton in particular taking a liking to the Ely bowling. The 50 came up of just 40 balls and Wharton's own fifty came up soon after, off just 36 balls. The offspin of Vincett removed Heslam for 14 and Wharton for a 46-ball 66. At 84 for 2, Ely were trying to get back into the game but a-run-a-ball 23 from skipper Tom Greaves kept the scoreboard ticking over but then his wicket and that of Rich Wharton at 127 for 4 had the game evenly poised. Rob Lankester was now playing the anchor role and when Marcus Martin fell for just 4, he and Jack Caine set about taking the score over 200. The 50 partnership came off 62 balls and Caine, now having overtaken Lankester, brought up his half-century off 45 balls. Lankester fell for a rugged 45 then Caine (55 not out) and Toby Fynn (7 not out) took Reed to 228 for 6 of their 40 overs. After the break, Ely began their reply, however, the Reed opening attack of Ed Wharton (4-1-18-2) and Toby Fynn (5-2-20-2) made an immediate impact with two wickets each, plus a sharp slip catch by Tom Greaves left Ely at 25 for 4. Aniskowicz began the Cambridgeshire side's recovery with a 30-ball 50; being particularly hard on newcomer Kapil. Kapil though managed to pull things back with two quick wickets and Matt Bowles (3-1-5-2) took Aniskowicz for 72 off just 54 balls. Ely could offer no more resistance and [...]
