The Sunshine Coast Daily has compiled the statistics of all 1378 batsmen and all 1062 bowlers from the junior and senior divisions by runs scored and wickets taken this season.

After the opening nine rounds in the senior competition it’s former Brisbane Heat star and 21/22 team of the season player Ben Laughlin who has swapped the ball for the bat and leads the batting rankings.

Laughlin leads the three Caboolture guns of Glen Batticciotto, Jackson Mills and Preston White who sit second, third and fourth respectively.

In the bowling department it’s Caboolture’s Lee Mitchell who leads Tewantin-Noosa’s Jacob Dennien by one wicket.

A special mention goes to Coolum women’s cricketer Sarah Beechey who leads the bowling tally, and Caloundra star Taylor Fitzgerald who reached 60 runs in her opening knock of the season.

In the junior competitions it’s Angus Gove from Glasshouse leading the charge in the batting department, while Caloundra’s Hunter Peters is on top for the bowlers.

New junior Glasshouse recruit impresses with the willow (Round 9)

Glasshouse junior Angus Goves has stamped his feet on the under 15a division with opening scores of 47 and 103* against USC in round one.

Goves, who bats at three as a right-hander, is just three runs off his last season total of 153 runs from 11 innings.

“I’m very proud especially because I didn’t bat amazingly last season, (so) this is now a great way to start the season,” Goves said.

“I did a little bit of training in winter, just hitting some balls at home in the garage, but mainly just took a break from cricket and just came back wanting to enjoy it.”

The rising youngster hit a total of 19 boundaries in his two stints at the crease and has rocketed into the top 20 on our rankings.

The talented touch football player, who recently represented the Sunshine Coast at the Youth National Championships, said his best attributes were his patience and precision in front of the stumps.

“I’d say I have good shot selection because I’m on the smaller side in terms of height and stuff so I don’t go hitting sixes every couple of balls but definitely more shot selection and finding those gaps,” he said.

Goves said he hoped to continue his form in coming weeks.

“It would be awesome to win the grand final but there’s some good quality teams in our division so really to just win a couple, maybe lose a couple and have some fun playing would be good and if we take it all the way then that’s a bonus,” he said.
