U15s in game of two halves

Bishop's Stortford won the toss and chose to field. In a shake up of the batting order, Jacob and Daniel Vincent opened. A decision that was regretted when both openers were dismissed playing questionable strokes early on - both caught at mid-wicket. Daniel for 4, Jacob for 10. When Eddie Cooke fell second ball for nought, Reed looked in trouble. Then when Kerian, who looked in good form, was dismissed 4 balls later Reed were 32 for 4 off 6 overs. Callum Ricketts and Aaron Nash were at the crease. Plenty of overs left, and Reed needed to settle... Callum was performing an admirable role in blocking, but fell in the 7th over for nought. Reed were reeling on 36 for 5. Oli Cambridge strode out with purpose with 12 overs left. Aaron fell in the 10th over. Charlie Cannon joined Ollie and scored a boundary off his first ball. Ollie was determined to keep the strike, and Charlie was determined to run hard to keep him there. Unfortunately, Charlie was caught on his second ball. Reed were 49 for 7 from 11 overs. Liam Neal came to the crease with few runs to his name this season, so it was a pleasant surprise when the run rate accelerated. It was more of a surprise that Reed survived until the 18th over before Liam was caught on 9 having score 2 boundaries. George Wood went in to help Ollie make the score respectable... putting on 14 runs between them in 16 balls, Ollie reaching 35, George 2. Reed finished on 99. After the disastrous start, it was a defendable total. Bishop's Stortford came in to bat hoping for their first win of the season. Reed [...]

Reed U11s get the season off to a flying start!

Reed U11s started the season in fine fashion with 4 wins in two weeks with the A and B team recording two victories a piece. The first and most impressive victory came away to Hitchin in the first game for the A team. Up against a strong team comprising of a number of Herts District players away from home, Reed opening pair of their Captain Josh Heslam (25 retired) and Ethan Fox (13) off the back of a prolific season last year playing a year up set off in typical fashion batting sensibly and running excellently between the wickets taking the score to 51 for 1 off 9 overs and setting a positive tone for the team. Unfortunately when they both departed Reed suffered a middle order collapse not helped by a few run outs which left things to the last 3 Reed batters, Matthew Jackson, Oliver Kimsey and Zak Rouse to importantly chip in with a few later order runs again running well between the wickets and ensuring Reed batted their full allocation collecting additional extras along the way and closing on 106 for 8. This proved it’s worth as the strong Reed bowling and fielding outfit managed to squeeze the Hitchin batting line up. At 33 for 4 off 10 the home side were well behind the rate. Although they rallied well consistent bowling throughout by Reed contained Hitchin to 82 all out in the final over. Wickets and good economy were shared around the superb Reed attack with the pick of the bowling stats Matthew Jackson with 2 for 4 off his two overs including a fine take by Fox behind the stumps. The second league game saw a far more comfortable [...]

SAM’S 50 SECURES A SUCCESSFUL START TO THE SEASON

Reed Firsts made a successful start to their league campaign with a well deserved win over old rivals Preston. Having been put in during the most difficult of the day's conditions, they made a steady start reaching 78 for 1 through a stand of 59 between Sam Osborne and Rob Lankester (35). Bertie Scott then gave the innings momentum cracking 7 boundaries, including 4 from one over, in a quick-fire 29. When Osborne, who only turned 16 two days previously, was eventually dismissed for a disciplined, well crafted 56, Reed looked well placed at 165 for 5, but Australian, Sathyajith, took 4 for 12 to restrict them to 193 for 9. Matt Sampson's 22 was the mainstay of the lower order. At 70 for 1, Preston appeared to be on top, but Toby Fynn's economical 10 over spell for 27 had already put them behind the asking rate and spinners Scott (1-36) and Tom Greaves (3-23) from their full allocations put them even further behind. The latter removed the dangerous Ed Wharton for a golden duck on his return to The Green courtesy of a sensational catch by James Heslam at first slip. It was left to Karl Ward (3-13) and Matt Giblin (2-34) to clean up the innings, leaving Preston 134 all out. Altogether a highly satisfactory performance after last season's toils in the Premier Division. Match report submitted by Peter Wholley.

The tough games keep coming for Reed U15s

When Bishop's Stortford rolled into town with multiple county players, it was always going to be tricky for the Reed U15s, especially when a depleted side were relying on support from 2 enthusiastic U13s players. Bishops Stortford won the toss and opted to bat first. In a marked improvement from the first match, the opening bowlers kept the bowling tight, and extras to a minimum. In a deliberate tactic, Reed interspersed their seam and spin bowlers - A tactic which initially worked well with Oli Cambridge dismissing batter #2 with his second ball - clean bowled. Reed continued to take regular wickets, but the strong Stortford batting line-up regularly found the boundary. Pick of the bowlers were George Wood (3-1-2-17) and Oli Cambridge (3-0-2-25), With Daniel Vincent taking one wicket, and stumping the non-striker off his own bowling with some sharp hands. Stortford finished on 150 for 6. Facing some rapid bowling, the opening pairing of Jacob Vincent and George Wood tried to weather the storm in the hope of some relief with the change bowlers. Unfortunately, George was caught on 0 and Jacob followed shortly after after some superb 'keeping had him stumped on 6. Reed never really recovered, and the bowling remained relentless for the first 10 overs. It was only after the spinners came on that Reed had the opportunity to score runs, but by then then Reed had lost 7 wickets for a score of 33. With the match lost and Callum Ricketts and Liam Neal determined to see out the overs, the innings drifted towards its conclusion. A late flurry of boundaries from Callum towards the end left Reed on 68 for 8 off the 20 overs, with Liam falling [...]

Tough start for Reed Under 15s

Reed started the season with one of the toughest opponents of the season, Broxbourne, away. Broxbourne won the toss and elected to bat. Reeds opening bowlers showed some winter rust and started haemorrhaging extras.... After 6 overs, Broxbourne were at 58 for 1, having scored just 10 off the bat. The only highlight being Liam Neal's catch off George Wood's bowling. After their opening batter was dismissed (caught Oli Tapsell, bowled O Cambridge), Broxbourne accumulated runs in the middle overs with their strongest batters at the crease. Jake Vincent bowled an impressive spell, taking 2 for 10 off 2 overs and slowing the run rate. Broxbourne finished with a flourish, with plenty of batters left in the pavilion, they could let loose, with Callum Ricketts (3-0-1-16) and Charlie Cannon (2-0-0-21) feeling the brunt of the batting. Broxbourne finished on 161 for 5, with the wayward bowling accounting for 46 of the runs. With such a tough total to chase, Reed were always feeling the pressure.... With the light fading, batting was always going to be tricky. With opening batter, Jacob Vincent reaching 36 before being dismissed, the remaining batters never looked comfortable batting in the evening gloom. A final flourish from Eddie Cook (10 from 7) earned Reed an extra bonus point, finishing 82 for 9 from the 20 overs. Going forward, Reed need to be a little more aggressive with the bat, and a little more positive with the running... Next Up, another tough opponent in Bishops Stortford 1s. Match report submitted by Lee Vincent.
