Young St Peter’s batter Jack Trewin is on top of the pile when it comes to junior runs so far this summer.

Trewin has made an even 100 runs so far with a highest score of 51 in the under-17s.

His teammate, Charlie Cain, is just 12 runs behind him with a best score of 53.

Meanwhile, with the ball, Jan Juc’s Jacob Falconer leads all comers with eight wickets at an average of 1.75 and best figures of 6-3.

Two wickets behind him is under-13s rival Drysdale’s Jack Cook, who has the best figures of 3-3.

“Being a top order batsman my approach has always been to concentrate and watch the ball closely,” Trewin said.

“Hopefully see off the new ball and build my innings from there. If anything I am trying to play a little more aggressively once set.”

Trewin said his best knock came in senior cricket, a 92 for St Peter’s second grade team in Round 2 against Newtown & Chilwell.

“It was satisfying because we were 3 for 30 at one stage and in a bit of trouble,” Trewin said.

“Also had a good partnership with my skipper Shane Fowles.”

Trewin began playing cricket in the backyard from about two years of age with his older brother, Ollie, before progressing from Milo Cricket to seniors.

“I love the game because of the friends I’ve made, the intensity and pressure it brings but also satisfaction when I do well. One ball and I know it can be all over,” he said.
