Jackson steps in to see Under 9s to 4 in 4

Reed Under 9s (1) made it 4 wins out of 4 after they squeezed over the line against Sawbridgeworth at the Green on Friday. Reed captain Josh Heslam won the toss and elected to bowl and with the opposition on 230 after 12 of their 16 overs everything looked good for the young Reed side. However an impressive last wicket Sawbridgeworth stand set a competitive 258 for Reed to win. Reed wicket-takers were Josh and Eddie Heslam, Jon Green, Luke Wilson and Oliver Walters. This total looked particularly challenging for Reed to win when after the first pair they were only at 201. However Josh (24) and Eddie Heslam (6) had other ideas and quickly changed the momentum of the game progressing Reed to 233. Luke Wilson and Hugh Hollamby edged the hosts closer but at 245 going into the final pairing the game was in the balance. Step forward Matthew Jackson (17) who took a last minute call after the rain caused selection confusion to arrive part way through the first innings to then deliver the decisive blows hitting 4 boundaries in the final pairing with Oliver Walters to see Reed home and complete an enjoyable and exciting game in style.

U9s make it 3 in 3

Reed U9s 1 made it 3 wins out of 3 with a convincing victory over Braughing on Friday evening after the grounds staff (and willing parents!) did a fantastic job to fit the game in around the British summertime weather! Reed 1 again lost the toss and were asked to bat. Ethan Fox (19) and Rory Longland (27) again did a fantastic job setting the tone for the innings scoring freely, which when backed up by Josh (22) and Eddie Heslam (10) saw Reed well on their way to a big score. The hosts ended up on 329 with others chipping in along the way. In reply Braughing were always up against it particularly facing the strong Reed 1 bowling line up and they finished up on 233 with wickets coming from Josh Heslam (2), Rory Longland, Hugh Hollamby and Harrison and everyone else bowling very tightly. The benefits of the Reed team playing a season of Under 9s cricket at the ages of 6 - 7 clearly paying off as they are currently competing strongly still a year or more below the age group.

Niners go head-to-head

Reed’s two Under 9s teams entertained the Colts' and All-Stars' parents at their regular training practice on Sunday morning at Reed in a high scoring encounter displaying the fine progress made by the age group consisting of children graduating from the All-Stars programme from the last two seasons. Reed 1 lost the toss and found themselves batting, however Ethan Fox relished the challenge hitting the ball to all parts scoring 33 during the 4 overs he batted. Other high scorers for Reed 1 on their way to an imposing total of 313 (Net) were Rory Longland (11) and Josh Heslam (9) and Eddie Heslam (10). The pick of the Reed 2 bowlers was Atharva Yadav with two wickets whilst Matthew Jackson, Zak Rouse and Lily Hall also took a wicket each. In reply Reed 2 also batted well but unfortunately were always up against it chasing a large score ending their innings on 273 (Net). Runs were shared around with Lily Hall top scoring with 9. Reed 1 wicket takers were Jon Green and Daniel Tallis with two each and Eddie Heslam with one. Match Report submitted by James Heslam.

Under 9 (1) v Stortford

Reed Under 9s (1) got the season off to a flying start with an excellent victory away at Bishop’s Stortford. Reed captain Josh Heslam won the toss and elected to bowl first and then led from the front taking a wicket in the first over. This set the tone for the innings as all Reed Bowlers bowled very well supported by some excellent fielding with well taken catches by Rory Longland, Jon Green and a run out by debutant Hugh Hollamby. Despite some good batting Bishop’s Stortford could not stem the flow of wickets with Josh Heslam taking 3 wickets and others being picked up by Jon Green, Ethan Fox, Hugh Hollamby, Luke Wilson and 6 year-old Eddie Heslam leaving them on a below par score of 217 (Net) from their 16 overs. Although Reed's strength is currently in it's bowling this looked an achievable target and with useful batting contributions from everyone particularly Josh Heslam (8) and Ethan Fox (6) the game was won on 234 (Net). A fine start to the season for Reed’s young side comprising of 6 to 8 year-olds in an Under 9s competition. N.B. Teams begin with 200 runs on the board. The net score is decided by adding all the runs scored to 200, then taking away 5 runs for each wicket lost. Match Report submitted by James Heslam.
