Firsts’ season fizzles out

After last week's euphoria on staying up, the final match of the season was rather anticlimactic. The visitors, Shenley Village, had to win to ensure a place in the play-off for promotion, so they had the motivation to play well. As indeed they did triumphing by 8 wickets. Reed started very well, the partnership of 60 between Will Heslam (23) and Kallum Ward (30) was only bettered twice in the league, but when all ten wickets fell for another 66 runs, it turned out to be the second lowest total this season. The rest of the strong batting side all registered single figures, except for the ever reliable Rob Lankester who batted throughout the carnage for an undefeated 31. This gave him almost 500 runs this year at an average of 41 and it would surely have been many more without the month he missed with a broken thumb. All the Shenley bowlers gave a good account of themselves, although Fakim Akbar (5-29) proved particularly difficult to read. Northants' Charles Thurston set about the reply with gusto, his 54 containing 10 boundaries. Even Reed's two most successful bowlers: Toby Fynn (34 wickets) and Tom Greaves (35) couldn't contain him as Shenley scored 130 for 2 in just 25 overs. Toby would like it reported that his average was marginally below 20, whereas Tom's was marginally above! Overall Reed's supporters can be relieved that the team found some good form in the latter stages of the season, finishing halfway down the league in sixth place. With a fit again Jack Tidey next year, who knows what can be achieved? Match Report submitted by Peter Wholley.

Reed breeze past Broxbourne

For once, Reed Firsts had a comfortable win against a Broxbourne side that had trounced them on The Green earlier this season. Having won the toss, Skipper, Tom Greaves, made what in retrospect was a good decision to insert the opposition. His bowlers all came up to the mark by taking wickets at regular intervals. Toby Fynn and Zac McGuigan opened in their usual miserly fashion, both chipping in with a wicket caught behind by Sean Tidey. The real breakthrough, however, was made by Chris Chambers who clean bowled George Davies and captain, Chris Sargent, with consecutive balls. Davies was the chief architect of Reed's downfall in that aforementioned match, scoring 143. This left Broxbourne on 76 for 5 at the halfway mark. Thereafter the spinners took over with Greaves taking 2-30 and Bertie Scott claiming 4-12 from just 6 overs, including the wicket of top scorer Connor Ridley, well caught on the fence by Will Heslam. Broxbourne 152 all out. With such a strong batting line up, this looked like a walk in the park for Reed and so it proved despite losing two early wickets. Sam Osborne (43) and Rob Lankester then built a century partnership, playing carefully at first then accelerating against the four spinners. They hit 13 boundaries between them and Lankester added two maximums, one of them over the sight screen to end the match with just four wickets down. He was justifiably named man of the match for his 77 not out. With that win, Reed have ensured they will play in the Championship again next year, but first they entertain Shenley Village on The Green next week with the visitors needing to win to secure a play off [...]

Reed downcast after narrow Dunstable defeat

The First's winning streak came to an end with another disappointing narrow defeat at the hands of Dunstable Town. Chasing 205 to win, Reed slumped to 22 for 3, but hopes were raised by two half century partnerships between Zac McGuigan (45) firstly with Sam Osborne (20) then with Chris Chambers (36). The latter showed his class making his first big knock for the team, including 14 from an over by Dunstable's most successful bowler this season, Jack Kilduff. Their spinners then dismissed the middle order, only for Sean Tidey (21) to raise the spirits of the home crowd partnering Mitchell Cooper (13) and Bertie Scott (16 not out). However the pace of Harry McBrearty accounted for the last two wickets bringing the total of his victims to 4 all clean bowled. Reed were all out in the last over for 196 to lose by the slender margin of 8 runs. Earlier Toby Fynn(1-15) and McGuigan (1-26) left the visitors 57 for 2 at the halfway mark, but Kilduff (47) and James Bromhall (49) accelerated the scoring despite Scott and Tom Greaves taking two wickets apiece, 204 for 9 proving just beyond the hosts. With two matches left this season Reed need one more win or one of their rivals to slip up in order to stay in the Championship. Match Report submitted by Peter Wholley.
