Reed thirds continued their recent good form this week with
another victory this time against Sawbridgeworth. The
opposition captain won the toss and elected to bat first on
the Freman College ground. M. Bursun (55) made up a large
percentage of the visitors total as others struggled for
runs. Chris Peckett led the Reed bowling attack taking 4
for 50. Whilst the bowling change introducing Richard
Robertson (7-3-18-2) seemed successful. Julian Fynn
(7-1-14-3) got the ball to move in a long way to take his
three wickets. Kallum Ward (8-3-29-1) also bowled well and
took the last wicket ending the Sawbo innings with a target
of 144 runs and 51 overs to get them.
Reed made up the runs in only 35 overs, captain Matt Bowles
looked in good form until he was out LBW for 28. R.
Robertson also looked comfortable at the crease making 35
before being caught behind. Maseeh Naeem made 15 but it was
Alan Ward (14*) and Marcus J.E. Baker (12*) who were the
men not out as Reed won by 5 wickets.
