Headlines – 16th / 17th May

A superb win for the 1st XI as they chased-down West Herts's total of 226 inside 40 overs with 6 wickets in-hand. The equally convincing Second XI (260) beat Wheathampstead by 168 runs in Division 5B. The Thirds lost to Harpenden at the Freman Oval and were all-out for 159 in their quest for 269. The Fourth XI had a "league-free" Saturday so a Conference fixture was played away against Aztecs CC in Barkingside. Unfortunately, the hosts were too strong and scored 251 for 5. Jet-lagged Reed managed only 75 in reply. Opponents Old Owens withdrew from the National Village Cup match on Sunday leaving Reed 1st XI through to the next round without playing any games so far. The Sunday Friendly XI match away to Cheshunt did not take place. PGB

The 2015 Cricket Season is about to start for Reed CC.

Reed Cricket Club has been gearing-up in anticipation for the new season with both Adults’ and Colts’ sections practicing indoors since January. Putting-out 4 teams in the Saracens Hertfordshire Premier Cricket League on Saturdays, two Sunday teams and fulfilling fixtures for Colts playing in the Cambridgeshire Young Cricketers Association Leagues at Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15 age groups there will be more than 150 matches to be played by September. It’s a busy time for Fixtures’ Secretary and Colts Liaison Officer, Peter Wholley, who said, “Cricket clubs must find young players and inspire them to develop their full potential and Reed CC welcomes any young boys or girls to join the Colts’ section. Reed is an ECB Focus Club with Clubmark accreditation with a dozen ECB qualified coaches to supervise practices.” Newly-elected Fourth XI Captain, Lloyd Bowman added “As the Colts progress to senior teams at weekends, they benefit from more competitive matches, playing alongside and against adults and more experienced players and developing their skills.” He is looking forward to the challenges of leadership and is impressed by the talent and preparation by the players and has high hopes of promotion. Now recognised by the ECB as a Premier League in its own right, the Hertfordshire League has re-structured this year and matches have two different playing formats. Divisions now have 10 teams with each team playing the others in Home and Away fixtures. Additionally, there will be fielding restrictions and limits on the amount of overs bowlers are allowed to deliver.

Colts’ Presentation & Enrolment, 26th March

The cricket season is rapidly approaching, so it is time to start thinking about Colts coaching sessions on The Green at Reed. But first there will be a Colts’ Presentation and Enrolment Evening in the Pavilion on Thursday 26th March at 7.30 p.m. with awards, reports and presentations to last season’s outstanding players. Club Chairman, John Heslam will be the Guest Presenter. All existing Colts are welcome, as well as new ones. If you have any friends, boys or girls, who might be interested, bring them along to the evening. If you were awarded a trophy last year, please return it to Cilla Robertson by Saturday 28th February for engraving. Caps and cricket equipment, including Abdo guards will be on display to order or purchase. If you are selected to play in a match, you are expected to wear full whites and a Reed Cricket Club cap. In addition, you will need your own Abdo guard, clearly named as with any other personal equipment. All players, who do not have their own helmet, are measured at the start of the season, so that you and your manager ensure that you wear the correct helmet when batting and / or wicket keeping. The continued success of Reed's four Senior XIs in the Hertfordshire Premier League means that coaches and the facilities are unavailable for running Colts' practices on Saturday mornings. Therefore, we shall continue with coaching on Sunday mornings during 2015. The first session for the U11s and U13s starts on SUNDAY 26th APRIL from 10.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. and continues until Sunday 19th July. The first session for U15s and U16s is on FRIDAY 24th APRIL from 6.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. until Friday [...]
