Reed Fourth Eleven captain Peter Baker was invited by fellow division 14 side Preston to play a friendly and fortunately ten others were available to accompany him. Preston batted first and made 143 thanks to D. Wright (59) who fell to Lewis Fitzgerald (8-2-20-1). Alex West (8-2-20-2) took two wickets but it was Christian Martin’s day as he took five for 29.
Reed struggled as they were bowled all out for 104, but Robert Willoughby (15), Will Kirby (10), A. West (13) and L. Fitzgerald (17) made it into double figures.
