Haverhill

Reed lost the toss and were put into bat. Josh Poulton and Cemal Ramadan got the side off to a good start, Ramadan loosing his wicket in the 4th over with 12 runs to his name. With Josh Poulton having to retire in the 11th over with a score of 33 and the next 4 wickets falling for only 11 runs Reed were looking frail. Tom Baker took 2 wickets and Scott Bishop came on 3rd change and began with a wicket maiden. Haverhill had pulled back the run rate and Reed needed a decent partnership to bring them back on track. This came in the form of Ian Curtis(7no) and Connor Poulton(25no) who put on 38 in the last 7 overs to post a final score of 118. The Haverhill openers Sam Street and Josh Ruthven were excellent in reply, keeping well up with the 6 per over run rate, they looked comfortable. Reed bowlers were frustrated with the first wicket of Street(8) not falling until the 11th over off Rhodri Hughes. Ruthven had to retire just after on 31 but Haverhill still had more batting to come. Will Bailey(22) stayed well and pushed 4 boundaries off the bowlers. Reed still had more to do. Unfortunately for Haverhill Bailey's partners could not contribute as much and the run rate slowed. The significant wicket of Bailey fell in the 17th over and Haverhill could not come back in the final overs. Reed scraped through with an 11 run victory.
