National Village Cup round 3 - 25/05/03 Reed carried over their form from their League victory by advancing a stage closer in the National Village Cup, thanks mainly to a blistering 131 by Baz Curtis off only 124 balls. Despite being delayed by a rain shower, Biddenham's bowlers continued to be terrorised by Curtis as he thumped 4 sixes and 15 fours leaving the hosts on 238 for 4 off their 40 overs. Solid support was found in James Heslam (20), Chris Jackson (30) and a crucial last-minute 30* in 24 balls by captain Simon Jackson. D.Morrish (7-0-35-2) and S.Edmonds (7-1-34-2) were the wicket takers. After tea, Biddenham began positively as R.Fone (32) and D.Morish (46) tested the Reed openers, but it took some nagging pace bowling by William Clarke (9-1-22-2) to force the breakthrough as Ben Bowles clung to a crucial chance at mid-on. The number three quickly followed to a rising delivery by Clarke, also marking one of wicket-keeper Simon Jackson's three catches during the innings. Once Peter Tidey (8-0-31-3) had D.Morrish bowled in his third over, the batting order crumbled, allowing him to pick up a further 2 wickets. 2nd XI opener Jim Allsopp (7-1-29-3) also contributed healthily with three wickets and some testing seam movement, showing positive signs for the club's future seam attack. Biddenham's effort ended in the 34th over as opener Berks (6.4-0-25-1) promptly took the final wicket leaving them languishing on 147 all out. Reed are due to play the next round against St. Margaretsbury on 8th June. The match ball was kindly sponsored by Hardcastle-Burton Chartered Accountants of Royston.

On Sunday Reed were beaten by Cheshunt in the Becker Cup by the batting performance of the classy Sam Stevenson. Reed started well with early break throughs from Pete Tidey and Michael Berks. Tidey bowled tightly, finishing his 10 overs with 1 for 18. However even with wickets falling at regular intervals Stevenson raced to a chanceless 50 and then quickly after to his ton and his 400th competitive game run of the season without being dismissed! James Heslam (3 for 53) became the first bowler to dismiss Stevenson this season, for 108 as Cheshunt finished on 219 from their 50 overs. In reply Cheshunt bowled tightly knowing the conditions as Reed lost early wickets. With Gary Bridge batting solidly and showing the class that he bought to Reed, Reed always had a chance. However once Bridge had gone for 43, Reed never looked like winning despite and interesting last wicket partnership from Pete Tidey and Jamie Kingshott.
