After losing the toss and being put into bat, reed got off to a shaky start. In the space of 4 overs, reed lost the wickets of their first 3 batsmen, and skipper, leaving them on 22/4 off 4 overs. At this point, Alan ward and Kieron Willoughby were at the crease. Willoughby, having a history of 3 ducks leading into the game, seemed keen not to make it a 4th, playing cautiously to get off the mark. However having getting past the milestone, willoughby played an impressive innings with multiple boundaries, getting himself a score of 53. Alan ward provided great support, contributing 35 runs to their partnership of 82 which restored Reed's innings. Contributions from the lower order- Bowman 20 and B. Morse 20, enabled reed to post a reasonably competitive score of 170. Reed opened with Giblin and Roberts. Giblin was getting the ball to swing, and caused the batsmen to play and miss on multiple occasions but with no reward. It was Roberts who did the early damage, picking up the wickets of the opening batsmen and the number 3, ending with figures of 2-44 off 10 overs. Mores was only able to bowl one ball, after which he had to leave the field with a shoulder injury. This meant Alan ward came on ,getting the ball to swing in he air, and picking up 3 wickets with figures of 3-48. Robertson picked up the 7th wicket, after an impressive spell of pace bowling left him with figures of 1-32. However despite some good bowling efforts, Dunstable were able to pick up the required runs, in 34 overs. Thanks mainly to an innings of 83 not out from their opening batsman.
