Abingdon
On a cloudy but warm evening, Abington won the toss and chose to bat. It was a good wicket, good enough for Reece Fitzgerald (4-1-7-3) to take a wicket with the second ball of the innings, a catch to Cemal Ramadan, the first of three to his name. Things did not get better for Abington loosing wickets rapidly, by the 7th over they were 18 for 6, Dan Howard taking 2 of these (4-0-18-2). Barnes and Mitchell then steadied the side with a partnership of 31, taking Abington to 47 off 12. It was looking more promising until Shai Cookson Swan took two wickets in his 3rd over, a stumping to wicket keeper Josh Poulton and a stinging close range catch to Jack Caine. Shai (4-0-16-3) and Connor Poulton (2.2-0-6-1) took the final wickets, leaving Abington all out for 65 off 17.2 overs. In reply Reed gave the less experienced batsman a go at the top order Joe Graves (14) and Sam Rice (10 inc 2 4's) both gave impressive performances getting into double figures. Dan Howard although just the 4 runs kept the innings ticking. The top 4 batsman (with the help of extras) got Reed to 47 by the 13th over. Reed were brought back down to earth in the 14th loosing 3 wickets, two to runouts and a catch to R Mitchel. Jack Caine (4 no) and Cemal Ramadan (13 no) saw off the final runs by the 17th over.
