Early sunshine greeted Reed II as they travelled to
Radlett. Reed captain Jason Archer lost the toss and was
asked to field. Radlett's innings got off to a poor start

resistance before Nandhra was caught and bowled by Tidey
for 9. Reed then took two quick wickets leaving the
home side on 75-4 at drinks.
T.Peck and J.wells looked solid before Mitchell Cooper ran
out Peck for 32. Wells was joined by T.Charles and together
they started to form a partnership before Jason Archer
(14-2-72-3) had Wells Bowled for 41. Sutherland came into
bat and was soon caught in the deep by Cooper for 3. Tidey
picked up his fifth wicket after bowling Lederman for 3.
A.Hussien and Charles put on runs at the end including a 7
off the final ball of the innings to bring their score to
185-9 off the allotted 53 overs.
Reed's openers set about getting the target opening with
Fergus Martin and William Heslam. Heslam was bowled for 12
with the score on 21 in the ninth over. Martin was joined
by Baz Curtis and together they put on 33 before Martin was
caught off the bowling of Sutherland (5-0-15-1). Ed Garrott
(1), Curtis (25) and Cooper (2) fell in quick sucession
leaving the visitors on 67-5. Matt Bowles and Richard
Johnson stabalised the innings before Johnson went for 13
caught at mid on. Keeper Sean Tidey was caught and
bowled for 1. Rupert Martin (8), Peter Tidey (6) and Jason
Archer (4) came in and supported bowles on his way to
a quickfire 41 including 6 fours and a huge six as
