U15s composed against Welwyn

After two tough league games, Reed’s U15 team visited Welwyn and into the unknown. Reed won the toss and elected to bat. The opening pairing of Jacob Vincent and Ollie Cambridge started steadily and then rapidly accelerated the run-rate after 4 tight overs. Good communication and quick singles were interspersed with plenty of boundaries. Jacob retired with a boundary bringing up 42 off 29 balls; the opening partnership having reached 79. Ollie C fell in the next over on 18. With George Wood and Ollie Tapsell new to the crease the expectation was for the run rate to stall, but it didn’t. Ollie T and Wood took the initiative and peppered the boundary. Wood finished on 21 from 16, Ollie T on 16 from 15 balls. With the innings reaching the final stages, Eddie Cook blasted 2 quick boundaries before being bowled. Daniel Vincent (1) and Jake Garner (2) seeing out the final few balls. Reed had set a defendable score of 146 for 4. In a shake-up, the ex-U13 dream team of Callum Ricketts and Daniel Vincent opened the bowling with a view to keeping the openers quiet. With Daniel’s pace variation, and Callum’s spin bamboozling the openers, the first 5 overs went for just 18 runs. Callum Ricketts struck in the 6th after Welwyn attempted to accelerate. Holding his nerve after two boundaries, Callum clean-bowled the opening batter. With Welwyn playing expansive cricket, Reed continued the seam / spin combination with Ollie Tapsell and Ollie Cambridge. Welwyn started to score quickly, but Ollie T forced an error and Eddie Cook took a clean catch to despatch Welwyn’s other opener, swiftly followed by a run-out by Jacob Vincent, with a bullet-like direct hit from [...]

First league match for U15s

We hosted local village Thriplow in bizarrely our first league game near the end of June! This was because of postponements due to rain in May and our cup run. We lost the toss and were asked to field in a game reduced to 18 overs with yet another chance of rain possible. We managed to dodge the rain though and it made for an exciting game that ebbed and flowed. We were set 129 runs to win after Sanderson, Archer and Osborne had all taken wickets. Longland also found the edge twice and Mitchell had a chance shelled in the deep. Needless to say it was the 93 second wicket partnership that proved frustrating and contributed to a solid Thriplow total. Sanderson struggled slightly in the fading light and was bowled for 4. Mitchell (13) and Vincent (15) did support the in-form Osborne (51) though as we fell 20 runs short in an entertaining game on the Green. Credit to Osborne and Brent (7) for both striking 6s, Osborne’s was particularly impressive in to one of our neighbours gardens! This week we travel to Little Shelford on Thursday then host Godmanchester on Friday. We are also hoping to involve many of our U15s on the Chairman’s and President's Days on Sunday 11th July and Sunday 1st August respectively. Match report submitted by Richard Barlow.

Archer makes mincemeat of Braughing

Whilst Braughing is known locally for their sausages, our stand-in captain Will Archer made mincemeat of their middle order to finish with figures of 5 for 18 in an Under 15 development friendly on Thursday (17th). His evening started pretty well winning the toss and electing to bat. Dom Longland and Oli Tapsell struck the new ball well and ran between the wickets athletically. We also gave debuts to Bear Coates and Matt Ladds, the latter second top scored with 13 striking a couple of lovely fours. Will Green followed suit by bludgeoning 18 crucial runs too. Coates also capped a winning debut with a fine catch in the deep later on. We didn’t give ourselves a great deal of room for comfort though with a relatively slim total of 86. Needless to say we defended it well with a couple of neat stumpings by stand-in keeper Dan Vincent. His brother Jacob Vincent also showed good control with his bowling. He and James Mitchell both contributed well with figures of 3 for 7 and 1 for 1! Dom Longland also struck early and finished with 2 for 15. Ultimately it was our spin bowlers who wrapped up the result though with sizzling accuracy. Oli Cambridge sent down two maiden overs with Jacob and James above setting Will Archer up for his timely batch of wickets. We restricted Braughing to skinny 57 to win by 29 runs. Thriplow is well known for its daffodils let’s hope we are shining brightly against them this coming week. We have them at Reed on the 24th then Away on the 25th.

15s fall short in Cambridgeshire Cup

Our Under 15s couldn’t back up their comfortable victory over Royston in the previous round losing by 53 runs to Saffron Walden in the quarter-finals of the Cambridgeshire Cup. We lost the toss on one of our finely prepared new pitches at Reed, stand-in skipper Max Sanderson was powerless to prevent some fine power hitting from Wiseman (56) and Legg (34) despite nearly having the latter caught at slip off his own bowling. We gave debuts to Cotes, Donnor and Wallace all of whom applied themselves well in front of a large gathering of parents enjoying some proper cricket weather at last! Sanderson and manager Barlow continued to experiment with various bowlers and were rewarded with some wickets from Cambridge and Wallace W Green also returned from injury, bowling an encouraging 2-over spell. Strike bowler W Archer bowled with fluency and got the ball to grip and bounce well at times taking the visitors' Legg’s top of off stump. Ultimately the visitors score of 169 was going to be a tough ask though despite some shortish boundaries and a fast outfield. Our response was good though regularly going at 5/6 an over. Sanderson fell just short of a 50 which would of been back to back fifties for him in the competition. Several other batsman got starts and hit a boundary or two but didn’t manage to go on and we finished on 116-7. Manager Richard Barlow was encouraged by our boys display though there were lots of positives this evening and we can take them in to our league campaign. I’m really noticing a change in attitudes too, our availability is improving and hopefully the boys are starting to feel part of a team. [...]
