Club Chairman’s Report, 2022

2022 will be remembered for the incredibly hot summer we had. It was the first time I can remember playing in a game where the overs were reduced due to it being too hot. We played Sandridge and I lost the toss and we were in the field. Simon Jackson was keeping and when he told me he was tired I knew the bowlers must be struggling. On the pitch there were the usual highs and lows. Personally, getting to Captain the 2's for a full season was very enjoyable. It meant I could get a bowl which usually only happened on the last game of the season if we had nothing to play for. My second ball of the season was a very short very slow ball to Hewitt from Welwyn. He should have hit it to Barkway but somehow managed to hit it straight back at me for a caught and bowled. I'm sure there's an old saying there somewhere. It was good to see the 1st Team get some new players in to strengthen the side. Chris Chambers returned to the club after about 20 years away and Head of recruitment, Bill Mansfield managed to get Bertie Scott to join. It was also great to welcome Zak back from Australia. I think the 1st Team have a lot of strength in depth now and hopefully 2023 will be successful for Tom and the team in both the league and cup. Where I think 2022 has been most successful is with the development of the young players at Reed. There were a number of outstanding performances from young players across all 3 adult teams. Scott Nash's 3rd team regularly fielded a number of [...]
