Reed earn their first Premier League win in great style

Reed travelled down the A1 to face North Mymms in their latest League encounter. Losing the toss, Reed were put into the field on a sultry day. Opening bowlers Ed Wharton and Jack Tidey bowled excellent lines to keep the scoring down. Tidey (9-4-9-1) snared the first wicket in the eighth over caught at mid-on by Jack Caine with the score on 19 for 1. Wharton (9-0-28-1) was soon in on the act with a great slip catch from Sean Tidey (24 for 2). The runs dried up as both bowlers bowled right through their allowance of nine overs. Sean Tidey came into the attack and took a wicket in his first over (39 for 3), both Tidey and Mitchell Cooper (5-0-26-3) turned the screw even more leaving the hosts on 64 for 7, with less than 19 overs of their innings left. Captain Wynne and Owen Millard doubled the score, before Sean Tidey (9-0-39-3) took his third wicket. Two wickets from Matt Giblin (7.2-0-25-2) wrapped up the tail. The home side all out for 152 in the last over. Brothers Ed and Richard Wharton opened Reed’s reply and hit 22 inside three overs before Richard was adjudged lbw, the first of skipper Wynne’s five wickets (9-0-43-5). Will Heslam came in and continued the brisk start. Ed Wharton then became the first of three wickets to fall on 37. Heslam and Jack Caine set about restoring the innings, Heslam fell to a catch at mid-wicket (56 for 5). Stuart Smith joined Caine and played an anchor role as Caine reached 31 before also being adjudged lbw. This left Mitchell Cooper 41 not out (in 33 balls) to join Smith 24 not out and they continued [...]

Reed fall just short despite a Tidey performance

Reed entertained Potters Bar at The Green in their latest Premier League match. Winning the toss, Reed put their opponents in. They didn’t have to wait long for the first wicket when Palmer was bowled offering no shot to Jack Tidey. Hussain became Tidey’s second wicket edging to keeper Rich Wharton with the score on 31 and when Ed Wharton added the wicket of Patel with a superb catch at midwicket by skipper Rob Lankester, the visitors were struggling at 44-3. Pat Scott completed his 50 for the visitors but fell to Tidey two balls later, his brother Charlie fell first ball and the quick bowler completed his 5-wicket haul when Wijesuriya fell playing on, Potters Bar were 89 for 6. The opposition’s overseas player Miguel Nunes-Macahado came to the wicket and began to build Potters Bar recovery, despite losing James Scott with the score at 112, he shared a 57 run partnership with Chapman as they took the score beyond 200. He eventually went for 105 in just 83 balls. Potters Bar were eventually dismissed for 242 in over 43. Tidey’s figures of 9-2-37-5 the stand-out of the Reed bowling attack, the ground fielding too was out of the top drawer. Reed began their reply with two lofty blows by Ed Wharton before he was caught at point. Brother Richard and skipper Lankester batted sensibly punishing anything loose. The 50 partnership came up off of 82 balls. Lankester eventually fell for 31, James Heslam went lbw with the score on 82 for 3 with 20 overs already gone. Jack Caine made 21 before being stumped, meanwhile Wharton reached his 50 before falling for 56 (143 for 6), Mitchell Cooper 27 (25 balls) and Sean [...]

Rain frustrates Reed First’s victory push after great bowling performance.

The unpredictable British weather put pay to any hope of Reed forcing a victory away at Hertford after a marvellous all round bowling display. Having won the toss and putting their hosts into bat, Hertford reached 28 before Ed Wharton (6-3-30-1) trapped Wray lbw for 14, Jack Tidey (9-1-27-3) added fellow opener Riddle soon after and Hertford were only 34-2. Mitchell Cooper provided an eventful first over conceding 3 runs off his first two balls and then providing a catch to wicket keeper Rich Wharton, before pinning Lawrence lbw with the next delivery, skipper Cowell was almost the hatrick victim as the umpire turned down the shout for another lbw. He soon fell to Jack Tidey and at 48-5 the county town side was struggling. The Reed bowlers continued to turn the screw with Sean Tidey (9-0-36-1) and Toby Fynn (7-0-28-2) also getting in on the act and Hertford were staring down the barrel at 89-8. A much needed 56 partnership for the ninth wicket between Leather (42) and Underdown (30) gave the Hertford score respectability. Fynn and Cooper (5.2-0-38-3) came back to take the last two wickets dismissing Hertford for 149 inside 37 overs just as the drizzle arrived. The rain got steadily heavier during the tea break and the game was eventually called off by the umpires with Reed unable to begin their reply. Both sides pick up 10 points for the No Result.

Encouraging signs for Reed despite a loss on their return from lockdown

Reed’s First Eleven played their first game of a shortened season against Totteridge Millhillians First Eleven at The Green on Saturday. Winning the toss on a bright and humid day at The Green, skipper Rob Lankester opted to bat. Ed Wharton cracked three boundaries for Reed in the first over before edging a catch behind. Will Heslam and Rob Lankester took the score beyond fifty before a flurry of wickets left the home side wobbling at 78 for 6. A gusty 38 from Mitchell Cooper (3 fours and two sixes) and 20 from Sean Tidey began a recovery. The lower order added some vital runs, especially Jack Tidey 27 not out as Reed posted 182 off of 44.4 overs. O’Brien and Lederman the pick of the opposition bowlers with three wickets apiece. Totteridge’s reply began quickly with the openers taking the score to 37 inside 4 overs before Jack Tidey (9-0-36-1) bowled the skipper Miles and Ed Wharton (5.5-0-50-2) added Sellwood’s wicket four runs later (41-2). However a 94 partnership between former Northants batsman Ben Howgego and all rounder O’Brien began to take the match away from Reed. Three quick wickets; two from Toby Fynn (5-0-25-2) and one from Mitchell Cooper (5-0-25-1) gave Reed a slight glimmer of hope. Smith and Lederman eventually taking the visitors home by four wickets.

For the third time in its history, Reed Cricket Club was triumphant in the Final of the National Village Cricket Championship Competition. Chasing Houghton Main's 160 for 8, Rob Lankester, (59), and Tom Greaves, (67 not out), put Reed in an unassailable position achieving victory in the 25th over with 7 wickets in hand.

The Reed, white and blue!

Little village Reed join the big boys in the Premiership. Having finished runners-up in the Championship, Reed hosted Luton Town & Indians, who had come ninth in the Premiership, in the play-off match for the right to play in the top tier of Hertfordshire cricket in 2020. For the first time in their history, Reed with a population of only 300+ have reached the Premier division, joining sides such as Radlett and Welwyn next year. However, the play off against Luton was not without some nervous tension. Once again Reed's bowlers didn't let them down. Jack Tidey, bowling economically his 10 overs straight through took out two batsmen, finishing with 2-25. Then Tom Greaves (1-28) and Ed Wharton (2-29) followed suit, leaving Luton 89-5 with only 20 overs to play with. Although they battled hard, Sean Tidey mopped up the tail finishing with figures of 4-34 as their opponents ended on 157 all out in the 48th over. This seemed 50 runs short as Reed set off with their usual gallop. Luton's opening attack of Manzoor (2-37) and Gittens-Browne (3-42) proved too hot to handle, though, as five of the top order perished for a mere 58 runs in 12 overs. Only Zac Mcguigan (28) survived the onslaught partnering Matt Sampson before he was bowled by Fayaz Homyoon. Tom Greaves (23) helped Sampson to what looked to be a match winning stand of 46 until he was stumped charging Homyoon with 15 required, As the spectators held their breath in case Reed imploded like last week Sean Tidey pulled and straight drove Sajjad Homyoon for 4 and 6 to take Reed home. The "man of the match" however, was Matt Sampson, who successfully marshalled the [...]
