Headlines – 11th / 12th July

All four of Reed’s sides batted first on Saturday but only the Seconds managed not to lose. They drew. The Firsts were at home to Shenley Village and scored 156. The visitors lost 5 wickets in overhauling that total within 20 overs. In the “double header”, the Seconds were away at Shenley Village. Phil Frenay and Marcus Baker hit fifties in Reed’s 234 for 9 but that score appeared too much for Shenley to chase as they batted out 47 overs reaching only 130 for 6. A couple of late wickets gave Reed an extra few points; Reed 16 points, SV 9 points. At the Freman Oval, the Thirds were all-out in the 45th over for an undefendable 175. Top of the table Berkhamsted had a dozen overs to spare when they won although Reed had taken 7 wickets in the process. The Fourths had their first loss of the League season at Elstree against Hatch End. Being inserted, the Fourths set off like an express train with thirties from Martin Johnson, Zac Conley and Michael Catt but eventually declared when the score was 178 for 8. In reply, Hatch End batted for 42 overs when they reached their target. Neil Haslam took 3 of the 5 wickets to fall. Despite this defeat, Reed remain in 1st position in the Division. The Sunday XI fared better at the Green in between the odd shower. Reduced to 32 overs per innings, Reed totted-up 178 for 7. Leading the way were Mitchell Cooper, (38), Owen Hughes, (42), and Rob Lankester, (32). Knebworth Blues responded with 150 for 7 giving Reed a win by 28 runs. On Thursday the 9th, the Mid-Week XI had played and lost to [...]

Big Victory for Young Reed

Sunday XI v. Little Hadham. (Friendly) Reed gave a dominant performance against Little Hadham when they hosted them at Freman College. Having won the toss Marcus J.E. Baker elected to bat first and took on the responsibility of opening himself. However the impressive movement gained by Mullins left Reed in trouble with two cheap wickets. Little Hadham had little time to enjoy their early successes as Paul Garrott and Rhodri Hughes took the fight back to the opposition. Combining good running and boundaries the pair made 95 together when Hughes fell leg before for 41. Ben Moody made a brief cameo before an unlucky dismissal. Garrott meanwhile went past fifty but then too was out soon after. There then followed a partnership of sheer power and strength. Zac Conley and Phil Lil joined with the team score on 154 from 23 overs. In the 27th over, when Conley was caught, the score was 219. The 16 year olds 41 runs included 8 fours and a six. With the total more than defendable Lill, having also reached fifty batted in a more refrained manner, giving the strike to the younger incoming batsman. Ollie Mansfield, Matt Yates and Toby Emes, each benefited from time at the crease and made useful contributions. Matt Yates in fact made a personal best score of 28 not out as he took Reed to a final total of 280. Neil Haslam bowled a good line and length and took the initial wicket (8-4-15-1) whilst Toby Emes (8-3-27-1) spun the ball well. They were replaced by Mansfield (6-0-21-1) and Yates (6-1-22-2). With the chance of Reed's total being overtaken dwindling Baker gave everyone a turn with the ball and thanks to some fantastic [...]

3rd XI Fall Short of the Mark

Reed III's played host to Waltham X Rosedale for the match that marked the mid-point in the season. The visitors, on winning the toss, chose to bat, putting Reed into the field in the blistering heat. Woodcock and Graves (9-1-33-0) began the attack with opener Moore (7) failing first. No. 3 Budhrasa (20) came to the crease and attacked the bowling, O. Hughes (6-0-17-0) managed to contain the aggression, but it was Robertson (8-0-49-1) who finally got the next breakthrough. Adler (32) and Waller (51) behan to build a partnership, until retuning Woodcock outfoxed Waller, and shortly after, Adler. Confusion at the crease saw the dismissal of C. Winter (6). Once again a partnership began, as Sutherland and H. Winter became increasingly aggressive. The partnership was finally broken with a deft bit of bowling from Pallett (11-1-63-2) saw H. WInter's (21) bails dislodged. Chntler (5) did not last long before becoming Pallett's second victim. As the 53rd over was completed Sutherland (50*) and J. Winter (9*) remained undefeated, having given Waltham X a healthy total of 226. The home side began the chase, however Willoughby (15) was stumped off the bowling of McCreevy (8-1-27-1). Reed then suffered a slight collapse with Kahambhat (0) and R. Hughes (0) falling in quick succession. Bowles came to the crease, and rallied the side, supporting opener Barlow. However Bowles (22) could not maintain the support, falling to H. Winter. Naeem (9) had a short flurry at the crease but became another victim of Budhrasa. Robertson (8) also followed suite, continuing the collapse. O. Hughes looked to salvage the situation, and support Barlow, but was stumped becoming Budhrasa's (15-3-52-5) fifth victim. Still, the tail wagged, as Pallett looked to close [...]

T-Ms’ mixed XI prove too strong for Reed’s Fourths

This week Reed 4th XI took a break from league fixtures, to play an away 45/45 friendly against a Totteridge Milhillians side, who were scouting the strength of the lower divisions with a view of entering a team into the same league next season. Clear blue skies greeted Reed who won the toss and skipper Bowman opted to bowl first. With Julien Fynn (7-2-11-0) and Zac Conley (9-0-42-0) opening the bowling, the opposition found it hard to find runs on a large boundary with a slow outfield. However wickets were also difficult to find, and the Totteridge opening partnership of M. Pratt (15) and Bhardia (42) slowly put runs on the board. The first breakthrough came after a change of bowling, with Kieren Willoughby catching a loose shot from Bhardia off Mansfield’s (7-0-49-1) bowling and Reed’s new man Martin Johnson (9-1-32-1) introducing himself to the club bowling tight lines and dismissing M. Pratt. As the runs ticked over Reed still couldn’t find the wickets, not helped by two regulation catches being dropped by a returning player. More changes of bowling brought on another debutant, Ewan Rees (6-0-20-0), and returning spinner, M.H. Naeem (7-0-40-3). Despite 3 wickets from Naeem and a run-out from some quick fielding by Willoughby, the hosts managed to bat out their 45 overs putting on 224-6. Following a tea which was supplemented by left-overs from a party next door, openers P. Baker and S. Hoye looked to put together a partnership on which Reed could build upon. Hoye (14) was first to go after 10 overs, run out after looking for a quick single. This was the catalyst for a mini collapse as Baker (18) was bowled, then G. Adams (0) was [...]

Headlines – 4th / 5th July

I am sure that you will join me in wishing our Clubmate, Steve Hoye, a speedy recovery after he was taken ill during the Fourth XI match away against Totteridge Millhillians. Steve had just returned to the changing-room after his innings when he felt unwell necessitating the attendance of paramedics. Steve was later taken by ambulance to the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead. Maseeh Naeem is acting as family liaison and reported on Saturday night that after treatment Steve will likely be kept in hospital for observation for a few days. Get well soon Steve. On the pitch, things did not go too well for Reed either. All four teams lost on Saturday! The Firsts had a good first half when they dismissed Stevenage for 155. Unfortunately, Stevenage bowled Reed out for just 108 in the 34th over. Old Cholmeleians beat the Seconds on the Green in this top-of-the-table clash. Scoring 212 for 9, (well within range of the free-scoring Reedsters), the OCs then had Reed all-out for a disappointing 139 in the 39th over, Marcus Baker top-scoring with 45. Next week, Reed will play third-placed Shenley Village. There was a late-finishing nail-biter at Freman College as the Thirds just failed to clinch victory against Waltham Cross Rosedale. Led by Richie Barlow’s 85, then needing just 3 runs to overtake the visitors’ 226 for 7, the last wicket fell when the score was on an agonising 224. Earlier Aiden Woodcock had earned 3 wickets for Reed. On a non-league day for the Fourth XI, they travelled to Barnet to play a friendly against Totteridge Millhillians 4th XI. In his first match of the season, Matthew Naeem took 3 wickets as the hosts reached 224 for [...]

Mansfield leads run chase as Reed 4th XI win again

Reed IVs welcomed Stevenage to Freman College at the weekend. Despite some cloud cover the match began on time with Reed being asked to field by the opposition. Jack Childs and Zac Conley opened the bowling with Childs getting an early breakthrough from an improvised catch from Roberts at slip via wicket-keeper Bowman’s chin! Stevenage went at a steady rate with mistakes in the field giving them easy runs. After 47 overs Stevenage set a total of 222 for 8 for Reed to chase down. After patching himself up, a special mention must go to skipper Bowman who carried-on with great enthusiasm. Baker and Hoy opened up for Reed but Hoy went early, bowled by a “dipper” for 0. This brought Bill Mansfield to the crease who began to punish the bowlers from the start. In-form Peter Baker (22) was then lost bringing Zac Conley to the crease who typically from the offset began to hit the bowlers around the ground. Conley (24) was lost relatively cheaply which meant Reed were 101 – 3. Contributions from Bowman (5), G. Adam (17) and Childs (12) set the game up for a close finish which was eventually finished by Ian Roberts (19 not out) and Mansfield with a terrific (80 not out), and with 6 overs unused. This means Reed IV keep their unbeaten run in the league going. Importantly, they maintain their lead at the top of the Division at the halfway stage of the season.

Reed’s 3rd XI hold on for the draw

Reed III's travelled to Hertford for the eighth game of the league season, Hertford elected to bat after winning the toss, sending the Reed boys out into the blazing sun. Woodcock and Robertson opened the bowling, with Robertson removing Giblett (0) and Orchard (0) in successive overs the pair bowled tight lines, however Beale and Spring began to build a partnership.. Youngsters Fitzgerald (9-3-25-0) and Owen Hughes (5-0-16-0) both bowled tidy spells, but it was the bowling of Pallet that broke the partnership as Beale (29) was caught by the safe handed Owen Hughes. Timms (2) became Pallett's (8-0-37-2) second victim, and confusion between the batsmen caused Codd (8) to be run out. Hertford stood at 107- 5, however the tenacious Spring was joined at the crease by Horton, who steadily increased the run rate. The pair continued to attack the bowlers, despite some crafty spin from Khambhat (5-0-33-0), until spring reached the last of his lives, bing caught by Robertson off the bowling of Woodcock. A will held catch in the deep by Fitzgerald saw Woodcock 14-3-47-2) pick up his second wicket,, Riddle, departing for just 3. Kildare (9*) and Benham (1*) finished the innings undefeated, leavin Hertford 200-8 from their 53 overs. It was Willoughby and R.Hughes that began the run chase, setting off steadily against the pin-point accuracy of Benham and Kildare. Willoughby (18) was caught beautifully in the deep by Timms off the bowling of Benham (12-0-35-3), who quickly picked up the wickets of Fitzgerald (4) and Bowles (5). Kildare (9-2-32-0) continued to bowl well, but Khambhat began to find his range attacking the new bowlers Riddle and Orchard. Hughes (25) fell victim to Riddle's (5-1-20-1) left arm pace, bringing the [...]
