Our Third and Fourth Teams' development, and the cricketers of Freman College, owe a significant debt to his vision and generosity. I am sure that you will join us in extending our sympathy and condolences to Alan's wife Sue and son Sam, and the rest of his extended family. John Heslam, Club Chairman, Reed Cricket Club.

Jackson Chris-ens New Season with a Half Century and a Win

Jackson Chris-ens New Season with a Half Century and a Win Reed 1st XI Vs Hornsey 1st XI (played at The Green, Reed) Date: Saturday 23 April 2016 Match Type: Friendly Toss won by Hornsey who elected to field Result: Reed won by 11 runs Reed CC 173 for 9 (40 overs) C Jackson 55, T Greaves 31 Hornsey CC 162 for 9 (40 overs) T Greaves 3 for 35, E Wharton 2 for 15 Tom Greaves officially starts his reign as 1st XI captain on the field on May 5 when his side travel to Stevenage for the first league game of the season. His side look to have prepared well over the winter winning their opening friendly of the season against a strong Hornsey 1st XI by 11 runs. Paul Weekes, formally a professional cricketer for Middlesex CC between 1990 and 2006, called correctly at the toss and elected to field which seemed sensible as the conditions were suitable for swinging the ball and the wicket offered assistance to bowlers who could move the ball off the seam. Hornsey took advantage of the conditions and removed the Reed top three cheaply. But a solid 71 run partnership between Chris Jackson (55) and Tom Greaves (31) helped steady the ship and rebuild the innings. Sean Tidey chipped in with a quick fire 25 and everyone else contributed to help Reed get to a competitive total of 173 for 9 after 40 overs. Reed took to the field in the knowledge that if they bowled and fielded well, then 173 would be a competitive total with a wicket that still offered enough to the bowlers. Debutant Ed Wharton (2 for 15) soon extracted something from [...]

Club Photographer Wins Award

Many of you will remember either playing with, or posing for photographs taken by, Steve Nash. Steve played for the Club from the late 1980’s through into the 19990’s and many of his sports and team photo’s grace our pavilion walls. Photography was a hobby for Steve, and he particularly enjoyed photographing Greyhound Racing which was another of his loves. In the 1990’s Steve took the big decision to forego “conventional work” and strike out as a Sports Photographer. He has provided material to the Racing Post since the publication commenced over 25 years ago, and in recent years has been employed by them. He is also fairly regularly seen on, and involved with, Sky Sports Greyhound Racing coverage and is very well respected a a fine photographer within the Greyhound Racing fraternity. Steve’s prowess and skill has now been recognised with a prestigous formal award. Steve has been awarded the 2015 Greyhound Writers Association "Services to Greyhound Racing Award”. Steve will be fast out of the traps to collect his Award at the Greyhound Racing Board’s Annual Award Evening at the Royal Lancaster Hotel later this month. Despite his busy professional life Steve still does work for the Club when asked, and I am sure you will join us in offering him and Liz our congratulations on his latest professional recognition.
