Life Membership for John Heslam

John Heslam was made a Life Member of the Cricket Club at the General Committee Meeting last week. This acknowledged JQH’s massive contribution dating back to 1980. John spent 36 years on the Committee; 25 as Club Chairman. He became Club Captain in 1985 when Reed was building a competitive side that recorded numerous promotions and cup triumphs during his tenure. Latterly, he also skippered the Second XI when several Colts, whose teams he also successfully managed, were first introduced to playing “Open-Age” Cricket matches. Many of those youngsters now form the backbone of the current Senior XIs. Off the field, John was instrumental in planning the construction of extensions on our super pavilion and under his leadership and as Fundraising Officer he secured thousands of pounds in sponsorship and grants from various sources. He also procured everything from carpet tiles to fire doors, and from safes to lorry loads of concrete and building materials for those extensions, ensuring all tasks were completed on time and on-budget. This short summary of his association with the Club does not scratch the surface of JQH’s commitment to RCC and his significant influence on its history. Life Membership is in recognition of those forty years’ of service. Thank you John. Peter G. Baker. Honorary Secretary, Reed CC November 2020.

AGM – an explanatory note

To Members of Reed Cricket Club, The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Reed CC usually takes place during November of each year. Because of the restrictions relating to Covid-19 affecting the number of people allowed to gather together, the Club's General Committee took the decision to postpone the AGM for three months in the hope that the restrictions would be relaxed by then, thus permitting a proper meeting to be held in the Howard Marshall Pavilion. The date chosen is Thursday 18th February 2021. Alas, with the reintroduction of a further short period of "lockdown" the indications are that our AGM might have to be conducted virtually after all. Safety is paramount so if that is the case, we shall inform you how we intend running the meeting which, in all likelihood, would probably require setting deadlines for proposals, elections and constitutional rule changes to be submitted in the weeks before 18th February. Whilst we hope that we will be able to meet as usual, the Committee is looking at ways that balloting, etc., can be administered remotely. I shall let you know what we have decided nearer the time. I know some Club Members do not receive emails or have access to the internet. Whilst I shall attempt to update them myself, please may I trust that their family members convey the above message to them. Thank you. Meanwhile, I wish you and your families well. Stay safe and healthy and I look forward to seeing you either in person or virtually in the near future. PGB Peter G. Baker, Honorary Secretary, Reed Cricket Club.

Headlines: Week ending 13th September

Saturday, SHPCL: 37 appeared to be the significant recurring number in the 1st XI match. Tom Greaves took 3 for 37 in the West Herts innings and Rob Lankester and Mitchell Cooper had each scored 37 in Reed's. However, the bare bones were that Reed Firsts batted first and scored 218 with Ed Wharton racking up a fifty and Sean Tidey 46, followed by West Herts losing only 4 wickets in their victorious run chase. It was a double header, and West Herts prevailed again in the Second XI match, although in a much closer contest. Reed were all out for 90 and number 10, Rupert Martin, top-scored with 16 not out! He then proceeded to take 4 wickets, as did Scott Nash, but West Herts reached 91 with 9 wickets down. Problems caused by lack of availability meant that the Third Team game was cancelled. Sunday: A last ball thriller as Reed chased-down and passed Hare Street & Hormead's total of 208. Rhodri Hughes top-scored with 84 and Rob Lankester hit an undefeated half-century. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next Sunday, Reed travel to new opponents, Stansted Hall & Elsenham, for a 1 o'clock start in a friendly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those interested in the Village Cup Final, it starts at 1100hrs on Saturday 19th September at Lord's Cricket Ground. Hertfordshire's Redbourn will be playing Colwall from Herefordshire. It is to be played behind closed doors with no supporters permitted to attend, just the playing squad, a scorer and one official from each Club. It will be so different from our own experiences. I have been reliably informed that the match will be streamed live by Frogbox and there is ball-by-ball commentary with Live Sports FM. We wish Redbourn [...]

Headlines: Week ending 6th September

SATURDAY: Mitch Cooper was again the top scorer in the 1st XI's close encounter with Hoddesdon by hitting 53 in Reed's 151 for 7. Despite 4 wickets from Tom Greaves and 3 by Karl Ward, Hoddie got over the line with only 1 wicket in-hand. At Hemel Hempstead, the totals and result were similar although in reverse. Hemel scored 150 all out thanks mainly to Marcus Martin removing 5 of the home batsmen. Then Stuart Smith scored sixty-six (alliteration!) in the Second Team's reply as Reed achieved the target with 8 wickets down. The Thirds did not play in the "league programme" at Pinner, but instead made the far shorter journey to Weston to play a friendly against Hitchin. Rob Willoughby was in fine form making 94 and Richard Johnson supported him with 78 as Reed closed on 255. Owen Hughes took 3 for 16 with Joe Graves and Chris Jordan taking 2 each as Hitchin fell away for an all-out score of 126. SUNDAY: At Aston, the Sunday XI won by 5 wickets chasing a total of 154 for 8. Bill Mansfield took 5 Aston wickets for 41 before Toby Fynn (66) and Rob Lankester (50 not out) guided Reed home in the 36th over. For those who don't know already, the National Village Cup Semi-Finals were played on Sunday. Colwall (Herefordshire) 238 for 6 overcame Carlton Towers (North Yorkshire) 147 for 5 in 32 overs by being ahead on run rate when bad light stopped play. Down in Somerset, Hertfordshire's Redbourn knocked-off North Perrott's score of 160 for 9 in only 22 overs with 8 wickets in-hand. The NVC Final organised by The Cricketer will be at Lord's on Saturday 19th September but [...]

Colts Round-up

In those first early months of the 2020 season when the weather was mostly hot and sunny, we were not allowed to play any form of cricket. Slowly, restrictions relaxed and net practices began for the Under 15s then extended to the younger age groups and included fielding drills. Co-ordinated by Richard Barlow, he and the Coaches supervised these sessions under strict guidelines and the youngsters were seen on The Green practising and developing skills. Usually the Colts’ Fixtures would be completed by the end of the school term in late-July. This year, it was then that the Government gave the green light for matches to be played. With thanks to Reed’s Colts Liaison Officer, Hannah Heslam, she hastily arranged a small fixture list for each age-group with like-minded clubs who wished to provide some competitive games for the children who had been frustrated by not being permitted to play. It was also then that the weather decided to change and some of those games have fallen foul of the rain including both Under 9 matches. The Under 9 team managed by Simon Jackson is scheduled to play tonight (1st September) against Hitchin U9s at Reed whilst both the U10s (versus Bishop’s Stortford) and U15s (v. Bedford) are playing away this evening. The U12s have a match at home against St Margaretsbury on Friday the 4th and the U10s are away to Hemel Hempstead next Sunday morning. Here are some match summaries of the games played so far contributed by the Team Managers, James Heslam (U10), Lee Vincent (U12) and Ian Osborne (U15). —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- 3rd August. Under 10. Reed 243 (Net) Knebworth Park 225 (Net). Reed CC U10s comprising of several of the Reed “Invincibles” [...]

Headlines: Week ending 30th August

Saturday (SHPCL): Mitchell Cooper top-scored for the 1st XI hitting 48 of Reed's 145 all out. Sean Tidey chipped-in with 28. Radlett lost only 5 wickets in passing the target; 2 wickets each for Karl Ward and Ed Wharton plus a run out by Karl. A somewhat depleted 2nd XI could manage only 134 in reply to Lutonians' 307 for 4, so not much to write home about there! The Thirds were reasonably well-placed at 109 for 3 when the abandonment came after 25 overs. Paul Garrott was out for 33 and Rob Willoughby was 55 not out. Earlier, Rob had taken 3 wickets as had Owen Hughes and Joe Graves added 2 victims in Bamville's 233 all out. Nothing had been arranged for Sunday. Enjoy the Bank Holiday as best you can! PGB
