Heartbreak at Hoddie

The Firsts just failed to break their sequence of defeats when Hoddesdon overtook their total with an over to spare. Once again the top order clicked on a good wicket with a fast outfield as Will Heslam (30) and Kallum Ward (55) registered the highest opening partnership of the season - 89 runs. They were followed by Rob Lankester (32) and the in form Jack Caine who top scored once more with 61. Caine only perished after the rain break when Reed were given just 4 more overs to add to their score. Fortunately, they had been going at 6 an over, so when Sean Tidey (26) and Toby Fynn (12) added more quick runs in an unbroken partnership, they were able to set a total of 255. Hoddesdon had 41 overs to reach it and their openers, Skipper Rob Walters and keeper Will Steward (65) kept up with the run rate in their stand of 120. Despite some accurate bowling and determined fielding, Reed could not stem the flow and Walters carried Hoddie through in the fortieth over making a chanceless 114. Toby and Julien Fynn, Jack and Sean Tidey all finished with a wicket apiece, but it was heartbreak nevertheless. Reed's next 'home' game versus Redbourn will be played at St. Albans School.

Better at Broxbourne

Reed Firsts produced their best batting display of the season at Broxbourne, but still lost by six wickets. Their innings was given momentum by a century second wicket partnership between Kallum Ward (88) and Rob Lankester (44). The former was in his usual aggressive form hitting 10 boundaries, whilst Lankester was striking the ball beautifully until the wind caught a well timed drive that was brilliantly caught on the boundary. Ward perished in similar fashion, leaving Jack Caine (38 not out) to continue his form from last week, well supported by Sam Osborne, Vibes Gadhvi and Sean Tidey. 246 for 5 seemed a good total, but on a benign pitch it did not prove sufficient. Broxbourne's opening stand of 139 between Kegan Eales and Alex O'Sullivan (51) was ended when Lankester caught the latter off his own bowling. Hopes were raised when Sam Osborne had Eales stumped by Ward with his second ball on an agonising 99 and immediately had captain George Davies caught for a duck. However, Connor Ridley made a rapid 50 despite the best efforts of the Reed bowlers to contain him. Indeed Reed bowled well on such an easy paced wicket: Julien Fynn only going for 46 from 15 consecutive overs either side of tea and William Heslam picking up the other wicket to fall. Overall, Reed's best performance so far giving encouragement for some victories in the second half of the season. Match Report submitted by Peter Wholley.

Sanderson fifty not enough as Reed bow out of the National Village Cup

Reed travelled to Redbourn in the Regional Final of the National Village Cup after the game had to be rearranged due to Reed's ground being unavailable. Winning the toss, Redbourn elected to bat, they set off quickly until Jack Tidey (8-1-28-1) bowled Ed Hales for 5 with the score on 20, his brother Will fell for 28 to Toby Fynn (8-2-27-1), Fynn coming back well after his first three overs went for 22. Yorath and Cutler set about building an innings defining partnership of 146. Both fell in consecutive overs to skipper Rob Lankester (5-0-30-1) and Will Heslam (8-0-52-3). The remaining batters took Redbourn to a competitive total of 235 for 6 off their 40 overs. Will Heslam and Kallum Ward set off well in reply until Ward was caught for 10, a superb run out dismissed Sam Osborne for just 3 and when Heslam mistimed a slow ball to be caught for 16 and Reed were wobbling at 45 for 3. 17-year-old Max Sanderson came to the wicket to join Skipper Lankester and the two set about rebuilding the innings with some powerful hitting and good running between the wickets. Their partnership had reached 61, when Lankester was adjudged LBW for 33. Despite wickets falling around him Sanderson reached his well deserved fifty off 70 balls, he was the ninth wicket to fall for 52, despite a 25 run stand for the last wicket between Fynn and Giblin, Reed were all out for 175 losing by a 60 run margin.

Reed U15s need to rebuild after injuries

After a bruising encounter at Ickleford in the T20 cup, Reed were without 3 experienced players for their league match against Welwyn Garden City. With Callum (Broken Toe), Jamie (Knee) and Daniel (Back) unavailable to bowl, the next few weeks are going to be tough for the U15s players. Fortunately, Daniel is still able to take the field to bat, and his experience in the field will help the younger players coming through. Welwyn won the toss and elected to field. A completely new opening pairing of Daniel and Eddie saw off the opening bowlers and reached 29 for 0 from 6 overs (with WGC opening bowler Vinnakota going for just 3 runs from his 2 overs) before Eddie was caught on 5 from 22 balls. In an error from the umpires, the batters crossing was not reversed, and Daniel was bowled by a ball that died in the wicket next ball (13 from 18). Then a quickfire 5 from 3 from Charlie Cannon before being caught in the next over. Reed were in trouble. When Stanley Johnson was caught in the next (9th) over it was up to Lewis Karim and Sam Dawson to make a stand if Reed were to post a defendable score. A partnership of 31 runs came to an end when Karim (30 from 24) was caught. Sam continued to show composure in the middle, while a succession of partners were dismissed at the other end. Aaron Nash was run-out for 0; Oliver Tallis Bowled (3); Matthew Barons Run Out (0) Sam was eventually run out on the penultimate ball for 29 from 34. Lily Hall seeing out the innings. Reed had made it to 108, which would be tricky [...]

Ward and Lankester onslaught down Langleybury

Reed travelled to Langleybury in the Regional Semi-Final of the National Village Cup on Sunday. Winning the toss skipper Rob Lankester asked the hosts to bat. Tight bowling from both Toby Fynn (8-1-18-2) and Jack Tidey (8-0-25-2) were well rewarded as Langleybury were wobbling at 29 for 4. A brief respite came with a fifth wicket stand of 46 between Roe and Ross before a smart caught and bowled by Chris Chambers (8-0-42-2) ended Ross's knock. Reed's changed bowlers of Chambers, Julien Fynn (8-1-31-1) and Sean Tidey (8-0-31-1 ) backed up the opening bowling spells as they restricted the hosts to 160 for 9 off 40 overs. Roe top scoring with a truculent 58. With only a shade over four runs an over needed, Reed set off confidently with Will Heslam and Kallum Ward building a partnership quickly. Heslam fell for 11 (32-1) brought 17 year old Sam Osborne to the crease he was given lbw for 5 and Reed were then 48-2 in the 13th over. Rob Lankester joined Ward at the crease and the pair played near faultless cricket at they motored towards their target. Ward hit 7 fours and 2 sixes in his 75-ball 69 not out and skipper Lankester 3 fours and four sixes in a 45-ball 50 not out, their unbeaten 115 run partnership off a mere 88 balls. Lankester hit the winning runs with a six over the club house to secure an 8 wicket victory and a date away with Redbourn in the Regional Final on 4th June. Match Report submitted by Neil Haslam.

A slippery start to the season

After two weeks of washed-out fixtures, Reed 1st XI looked set for a heavy defeat in their first game of the season as they slumped to 121 all out. They lost two wickets in the first two overs, although a solid partnership between skipper, Rob Lankester, and Sam Osborne (13) established a base to the innings. However when Lankester was LBW to slow left arm, Zimbabwean Connor Mitchell for 46 only Sean Tidey and Toby Fynn reached double figures as Reed lost their last 6 wickets for 31 runs. The signs were ominous when Jamie Regan took 17 from Jack Tidey's first over for 2 years, but Jack soon found his length and ripped out the visitor's top order taking 4 for 33 from his 10 overs, 3 of his victims clean bowled. He has been sorely missed. A wicket apiece for Sam Osborne and Toby Fynn as well as a direct hit run out from Mike Robertson in the covers had St Albans stuttering at 102 for 7, but their eighth wicket ground out the winning runs despite the best efforts of the Reed attack. After all it turned out to be a tight game played thanks to the kind permission of our hosts Cokenach CC. Match Report submitted by Peter Wholley.
