Reed got back to winning ways by beating Offley and Stopsley by seven wickets to record their first win in three games.
Offley batted first, and recovered from the early loss of Brody to move past 50 with no further wickets falling.
However, the loss of Barker, who had to retire hurt after a blow to the face, slowed the run rate slightly.
Bexfield made 44 before he was bowled by Karl Ward.

Stuart Smith and Tom Fulk got Reed's reply off to a rapid start, plundering boundaries all around the ground.
