The “Niners” win by thirty-nine!
To see the joy on the faces of the Reed CC youngsters recording their first victory was very pleasing. If truth be known, the Reed Under 9s were more likely to be Under 8 or even Under 7, so after a couple of defeats a win was a real achievement. On a chilly evening, Reed's Under 9s made a net score of 286 whilst Letchworth Garden City scored 247 (net). In the batting, Oscar Brickles scored 8, Ethan Fox 5 and Josh Heslam 5. In the visitors' innings, there were two wickets for Josh Heslam which put Letchworth under pressure, then with superb fielding that saw run-outs by Oscar Brickles, Toby Cook and Ethan Fox Reed won by a comfortable 39 runs.
