The Newport fly half has yet to miss a shot at goal with an impressive 100 per cent success rate after two games. In the Black & Ambers game against Aberavon the young pivot’s accuracy proved crucial as he slotted three penalties and three conversions in his sides tense 30-25 victory at Talbot Athletic Ground.
Reed’s personal haul of 15 points took him to 25 points, edging out Pontypridd’s Diggy Bird by two points. Bird’s 89% success rate is just one per cent better than Aberavon’s Chris Banfield who is third on the charts with 16 points.

Reed’s teammate Elliot Frewen has joined four other players as the leading try scorer in the league thanks to his brace against the Wizards.
Carmarthen Quins winger Morgan Griffiths had earlier bagged two touchdowns against Llanelli to also feature at the top of the try scoring charts. Quins scrum half Rhodri Davies has already proved a handful since coming back from the English Championship where he played for the Cornish Pirates.
His speed off the mark has seen him score in each of Quins league games so far while Luke Davies (Aberavon) and Matt O’Brien (Newport) have also crossed the whitewash on two occasions.
