For all they were struggling at the wrong end of the curtailed Premier Division table, individual Reed players certainly had a year to remember.
The averages for the Herts Cricket League in 2020 put Mitchell Cooper fifth in the batting stats for the division, with a total of 244 runs from his seven innings.

It meant an average of 48.8 and with his highest score just 53, it showed a remarkable consistency.
However, even better than that came when Reed had the ball in their hand as Jack Tidey topped the bowling charts.
He bowled 41.3 overs in total taking 11 wickets at the cost of just 120 runs. That averaged out as 10.91 with his best figures being 5-37, claimed during a superb opening spell against champions Potters Bar.

"We know how important cricket is for people’s physical and mental health and we will continue to liaise with the Government for us to come back as soon as possible."
They have also said that emergency financial support programmes, including return to cricket grants and emergency loans, remain open to clubs and leagues.
