Gold Coast’s Ben McDermott delivered a 112 not out, South Brisbane’s Lucky Peterson (110) returned serve during a dramatic Dolphins-Souths clash, while a Scott Palombo-inspired Norths ran down the Sunshine Coast.
And Wests openers Pranav Susarla (105) and Isaiah Snell (90) added 199 for the first wicket as their side overcame Toombul.
Long suffering Brisbane Heat supporters would watch on in frustration as Churchie old boy McDermott delivered in spectacular fashion for the Hurricanes, and thank goodness he is back in his home state.
BULLS BEST PLAYERS SINCE 1976 NAMED IN THESE THREE SUPER SIDES
BOLD PREDICTIONS: OUR STATE TEAM OF 2029-30; PLUS BEST PRE-75 SIDE
Souths junior Lucky Peterson then fired back during a blazing second innings performance which yielded 100 from 127 balls.
Of Greek heritage, who came from a tight knit family in West End and attended St Laurence’s College. Peterson once attributed meditation for his success in grade cricket.
And on the Sunny Coast Scott Palombo let fire during a day of batting as Norths steamed past the Sunshine Coast.
Also in grade, Pranav Susarla (105) was among the runs again for Wests.
Another highlight was a 100 by Old Man River, Wynnum-Manly’ Jon Shaw, in third grade.
In second grade there were also several batting marathon performances, including from Valley pair Tom Collier (144) and Cooper Mackie (116) who strangled their opposition. It was Mackie’s first hundred in grade and Collier’s second after a 194 against Toombul last season. More on this match, and other below.
TAVERNERS QUEENSLAND BOYS UNDER 17, LEW COOPER CUP
Valley 6-184 def Wide Bay 10-124
3. Sam Wallwork (Valley)
Opening batter Wallwork got into his work quickly against the new ball and amassed 73 (83 balls) to help Valley post 184 runs off just 36 overs.
It was a monumental knock which helped Valley bring up their first win since round one of the season.
2. Cameron Plackett (Valley)
Plackett ( 4-0-11-2) helped Henry Mercer (8-1-27-3) and Harry Frost (5.1-1-9-3) have the opposition all out for 124 when he picked up the scalps of both Wide Bay openers.
Plackett had Wide Bay 2-12, which put an early deposit on victory for the home side.
1. Lachlan Heycox (Wide Bay)
He does it all this bloke. He is a trusty middle order batter as well as a gun bowler who at the weekend picked up three wickets.
Wynnum-Manly 6-105 def Gold Coast 10-78
3. Connor Rudman (Wynnum-Manly)
In wet conditions Rudman was rock solid.
He opened the batting for the Sea Eagles and scored 33 off 22 deliveries to boost his side to 105 runs off 16 overs.
Nicholas Bragger (30, 20 balls) had a similar knock in the middle order which was enough to down the Dolphins.
2. Hayen Hamilton (Wynnum-Manly)
Hamilton was on the money at the bowling crease, the Sea Eagle getting two early wickets for the visitors to begin the downfall of the Gold Coast innings.
Around him, Harley Malpass (three wickets) and Thomas Mitchell (three wickets) were excellent but Hamilton took the votes because he claimed opener and captain Leo Davies as well as the talented Jackson Steinhardt.
1. Jackson Robson (Gold Coast)
Robson took two wickets in three overs of bowling, and understood the assignment with 13 runs off five balls with the bat.
Sandgate-Redcliffe 10-243 def Sunshine Coast 10-167
2. Damon Bass (Sandgate-Redcliffe)
One of the in-form batters of the Taverners competition right now is this elite opener from Sandgate-Redcliffe.
He scored 75 (87 balls) on Sunday and spearheaded the Gators innings which saw Luke Sentance and Steven Hogan also stand up with the bat.
2. Will Noffke (Sunshine Coast)
High praise to Scorchers skipper Will Noffke who continued to be a leading wicket taker in this competition with three wickets on the day.
But that wasn’t it.
After bowling well, Noffke was his team’s highest scorer with 54 (39 balls), coming in at No.8.
He is doing everything right at the moment.
1 and 1. Steven Hogan and Luke Sentance (Sandgate-Redcliffe)
To round out all six votes we gave one each to Steven Hogan and Luke Sentance, despite the fact Gators bowlers Angus McLean (6.1-0-25-3) and Lakshdeep Singh (10-1-32-3) were close to their best.
Hogan took a wicket after cruising to 57 off 60 deliveries. Sentance (46, 41 balls) was unlucky not to get his half century facing the new ball but he ran out Scorchers opener Aryan Sanjay with a direct hit which was brilliant.
Special mention:
Malakai Pearce (Sunshine Coast)
It was a tough day at the office for the Sunshine Coast bowlers but Pearce must be commended for his efforts.
He was his team’s only bowler to put in 10 overs and in that time he took three wickets.
Norths 6-136 def Darling Downs and SW Queensland 10-46 (DLS)
1. Kazuma Stafford (Norths)
Norths were in big trouble when Stafford entered the crease at 3-10 but he got to work and chipped away.
His thirty run knock ensured Norths had runs to play with.
1. Dominic Black (Norths)
Black enjoyed a 60-run-stand with Stafford and showed great determination when in the middle.
He faced 80 balls for his 44* and turned an ugly start into a dominant win for Norths.
1. Frank Piper (Norths)
Piper enjoyed scoring some runs after a slow-ish start to the summer.
The quality Marist College Ashgrove opener scored 32 off 51 and completed a resurgence from Norths.
1. Dylan Fedrick (Darling Downs & SW)
Fedrick surged onwards in a summer of dreams, the pacemen picking up three wickets in his eight overs at the expense of just 16 runs.
Sam Coleborn (two wickets, 12 runs) was also quality.
1. Louis Morris (Norths)
The Marist College Ashgrove off-break bowler was at his clinical best cleaning up the opposition’s tail-end-batters.
He is too good a spinner against them, and that showed with magnificent figures of 8-5-9-4.
1. Cruz Baker (Norths)
Baker, like Morris, took no time to make an impact at the bowling crease. He bowled just five overs and in that time he collected three wickets.
Wests 5-174 def Toombul 10-86 (DLS)
2. Jacob Cibulka (Wests)
Cibulka was in his element in the short form of the game, taking four wickets in four overs of bowling.
All four of them were top-order Toombul batters.
2. Oliver Peck (Wests)
Peck packed a punch at the end of West’s batting innings when he scored a quickfire 39* off 28 balls.
He hit two fours and two sixes and pushed the total out to 174 after 20 overs.
1 and 1. Rushi Kakkad and Sohaan Sharma (Wests)
Kakkad opened the batting and was excellent alongside his partner Sohaan Sharma.
Kakkad scored 36 from 22 with two sixes and two fours, while Sharma hit 29 (22 balls) with two sixes and a four.
Their opening stand returned Wests to the top four on the ladder.
University 1-137 def Ipswich 8-134 (DLS)
3. Blake Armstrong (Uni)
The stylish left-hander was at the peak of his powers withscoring an unbeaten 80 against the new ball.
Indeed the promising BBC batter was the highest scorer of the round in Taverners action.
2. Zak Olsen (Uni)
The UQ skipper enjoyed time in the middle alongside Armstrong, scoring a wonderful half century of his own to see his side past the winners post with nine wickets to spare.
1. William Parkinson (Uni)
UQ captain Zak Olsen won the toss and elected to bowl and what a decision that turned out to be after Parkinson’s three-wicket-effort helped the home side dominate in the field.
After 26 overs and a strong team effort by Harry Langdon, Daniel Boreham, Blake Armstrong and Cooper Beachy-Head (a wicket each), Ipswich could only post 134 - which wasn’t enough to hold off the competition leaders.
We wanted to find a way to split the votes in twos but Armstrong’s knock was too good not to earn all three votes, as was Olsen’s for two.
Souths 3-106 def Redlands 6-88 (DLS)
2. Eddie Comer (Souths)
On a rain-affected day of cricket, all Souths needed was one man to stand up.
Indeed that was opener Comer, whose 66 (57 balls) was just what the doctor ordered.
2. Chase Rodgers (Redlands)
Rodgers was a one-man-army at the bowling crease, claiming all three of Redlands’ wickets.
In third grade on Saturday he scored 55, and took 2-28 and then on Sunday he backed it up with figures of 4-0-23-3.
2. Tom Moloney (South Brisbane)
Moloney was masterful in his four overs where he claimed three wickets while leaking just nine runs.
He dismissed all three of Redlands top order batters and ensured the efforts of captain Comer (66), Luke Harper (21), David Holmes (11) and Dushyant Thaman (2-19) was rewarded.
WOMENS FIRST GRADE, KATHERINE RAYMONT T20 SHIELD
University of Queensland 5-88 v Sandgate-Redcliffe 8-87
2. Taylor Stumer (Uni)
A Wide Bay schoolgirl prodigy, Stumer shone brightly for Uni during a thrilling run chase. Uni were in dire trouble until Stumer (36 not not out) and Bree Craven (37) held their nerve under pressure to bat their side past the Gators with 13 balls to spare. It was Stumer’s composure under pressure which most impressed.
2. Bree Craven (Uni)
Yet another product who was originally from sporting rich Darling Downs, Bree Craven joined with Stumer to stay the course during a pressure-packed finale to the University innings. She also took 1-22 with the ball.
2. Mia Ryan (Gators)
Ryan changed the game mid-innings with a defining spell of 3-0-16-4 from four overs, taking down the Gators middle order.
Special mention: Oliva Roche and Darcey Johnson (Gators)
Sandgate Redcliffe played their part in an exciting match and both Roche and Johnson gave their side every chance of defending a small total (88), grabbing two wickets each.
Sunshine Coast 4-113 def Wests 7-112
2 and 2. Rachel Priest and Mikayla Wrigley
Priest and Wrigley made sure there was no escape for Wests by plundering a match winning opening partnership. Priest scored a breezy 43 from 32 balls while Wrigley pushed on to 49, also scored in smart time.
2. Lily Bassingthwaighte (Wests)
She did everything possible to fire her side to a winning score, making 47 from 38 balls until Ruby Orchard snared her caught and bowled. Bassingthwaighte then took 2-13 with the ball - a splendid day out by her.
Special mention: Ruby Orchard (Sunshine Coast)
Orchard was the backbone of the Coast’s bowling, reducing runs to a trickle on her way to taking 2-12.
Note: Other games abandoned due to rain.
WOMENS SECOND GRADE, JODIE PURVES T20 SHIELD
South Brisbane 7/123 v Sunshine Coast 8-96
3. Emily Titmarsh (Souths)
Titmarsh was the batter of the weekend across second grade, with a dominant 48 from 41 balls. The Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School old girl simply could not be contained, striking 32 of her runs in boundaries.
1. Alison Lindsay (Sunshine Coast)
Lindsay drilled a hole in the South Brisbane innings after Titmarsh had impacted the game in dynamic fashion. The Sunshine Coast captain, Lindsay three times bowled her rivals on the way to taking 4-25.
1. Hiruni Liyanarachchi Don (Souths)
Don took 3-17 including the big wickets of Britney Staines, Camryn Barnett and Coast captain Alison Lindsay.
1. Eloise Sanders (Souths)
Sanders and Don were magnificent during their bowling stints, with Sanders downing a flowing Charlotte Love who had impressed on her way to 22. Sanders took 3-20.
Special mention:
Sandgate-Redcliffe v Norths
Note: Norths won on Duckworth-Lewis System after rain
Sandgate 7/89 v Norths 1-31
Alexandra Lloyd, 3, and Kate Campbell, 2 (Norths).
Lloyd made the most of the playing conditions to take 3-17 from four overs, while captain Kate Campbell took 2-15 to also restrict her rivals.
Special mention: Kasee Marxsen went hard at the bowling for the Gators, blasting 24 quickly before being dismissed.
BULLS MASTERS, First grade
Redlands 236 v University of Queensland 186 and 6-100
3. Callum Henderson (Uni)
With nothing to lose paceman Callum Henderson let rip during a 21 over assault and finished with 5-81. The Rockhampton product stormed through the middle order to have the Tigers a nervous 7-148 before a Redlands’ rally.
2. Liam Smith (Redlands)
We liked the way Smith dropped anchor for his 61, and although he did not push on for a 90-plus total, his intent had to be admired.
1. Bailey Stewart (Redlands)
In a team bowling performance he finished with two wickets in each innings, and also a quick-fire 27 which sent Redlands hurtling past UQ’s total.
Special mention: Brayden Meegama (UQ)
The Queensland under 17 representative, the baby of the University side, claimed 3-47 from 20 overs.
Ipswich 8-d/204 & 3/135 v Sandgate-Redcliffe 115 and 221
3. Adam Smith (Ipswich)
Local boy Smith hustled to a four wicket performance during a rousing fast bowling performance that netted 4-61 in an improved Gators second innings batting performance. His new ball partner Jem Ryan (1-39) kept things tighter at one end, and Smith went for broke at the other.
2. Hiri Hiri (Gators)
The Papua New Guinean cricketer faced a big task against a confident Ipswich attack, delivering the goods under pressure. His 59 came after Sandgate Redcliffe found themselves in a tailspin again at 4-59.
1. Bryn Llewellyn (Ipswich)
The old professional Bryn Llewellyn was a steady hand with his second innings 59 not out, scored over a couple of hours.
Gold Coast 7-d/292 v South Brisbane 178 and 8-184.
3. Ben McDermott (Gold Coast)
It is great seeing McDermott back on Queensland soil and the Dolphins sure love him being around, with his 112 not out a glittering knock.
3. Lucky Peterson (Souths)
Hats off to the St Laurence’s College old boy who, with nothing to lose, backed himself and produced a sensational second innings century. He made 100 from 127 balls. That was some knock.
Special mention: Ashton Gumm - The Southport School old boy went hard at the South Brisbane attack, delivering a 58 run surge in the blink of an eye.
Northern Suburbs 6/374 v Sunshine Coast 9-372
3. Scott Palombo (Norths)
Yet another product from Steve Baker’s The Southport School finishing academy, Scott Palombo was magnificent with 105 that took his side to 2-239 and into the box seat against Sunshine Coast.
2. Nikhil Chaudhary (Norths)
Sunshine Coast were back on top when Norths lost 4-47 but Nikhil Chaudhary held his nerve and continued to play his game, whizzing to 54 not out in no time.
1. Kendel Fleming (Norths)
The Norths skipper joined Chaudhary in adding spit and polish to the Norths innings, sharing an unbeaten 88 run partnership. Fleming made a swift 42 not out.
Valley 7-d/300 & 1-d/111 v Wynnum-Manly 213 & 3/62
3. Reuben Burger (Wynnum-Manly)
Although the Sea Eagles got knocked over for 213, it was great seeing junior representative batsman and gloveman Burger deliver the goods with a well paced 72. The Churchie old boy had a bumper season last year and was featured earlier this season in our 3-2-1 count. He is a fine young prospect.
2. Dylan McLachlan (Valley)
Valley needed quick runs and Dylan McLachlan delivered them on a platter for his captain, Cameron Boyce, scorching to 67 from just 64 balls.
1. Cameron Boyce (Valley)
Boyce led a young attack featuring the Jeh brothers and tearaway Callum Vidler, guiding them through, offering advice and also bowling very well.
Western Suburbs 7/366 v Toombul 6-d/362
3. Pranav Susarla (Wests)
In an era of hurly, burly batting, we really like the way this Brisbane Grammar School old boy goes about his cricket. He batted time to amass 105 (212 balls), and his partnership with Snell set up his team’s first innings win.
2. Isaiah Snell (Wests)
The older brother of young-gun gloveman Toby, Isaiah was magnificent in sharing a 199 opener partnership after Toombul had laid down the gauntlet with an imposing 6-362.
1. Preston White (Toombul)
It is not often you take five wickets and don’t grab the headline as is the case here, but this fabulous all-rounder just could not be kept out of the game despite the Bulls staring down the barrel as Wests posted 0-199. He claimed 5-105, even inducing a stumping and a caught and bowled.
SECOND GRADE, ALAN PETTIGREW SHIELD
Redlands 223 v University 171 & 2/107
3. Hayden D’Addona (Uni)
The ace all-rounder was a stoic performer under pressure, toiling through 36 overs to snare a well deserved 5-72. He had very little to bowl to, but led his side by example, building pressure through 15 maidens.
2. Jason Grosvenor (Redlands)
Jason Grosvenor was the rock of the Tigers innings, burrowing his way to 61 in around four hours, respecting the Uni attack all the way.
1. Cameron French (Redlands)
Redlands needed middle order stability and captain French delivered that with his more than handy 31.
Ipswich 192 v Sandgate-Redcliffe 163 & 5/154
3. Thomas Sippel (Ipswich)
Sippel is having a big season and he continued to deliver with a steady 38 which, in the context of a low scoring game, was a considerable contribution.
2. Lakshdeep Singh (Gators)
Singh gave his side a big chance at one stage, with his 4-34 accumulated across 17.2 overs.
1. Matt Andrews (Ipswich)
Ipswich needed a lower order partnership of substance and captain Andrews delivered with 30, sharing a crucial stand alongside Sippel.
South Brisbane 263 & 3/94 v Gold Coast 275
3. Zane Beattie (Gold Coast)
Beattie was on course for a hundred until being run out by the Lachlan Biggs-Noah Vojinov combination. His 79 was a lovely knock which took the Coast from 3-80 to 6-220 before his dismissal.
2. Ryan Neal
The Dolphins needed an extra spurt to push them past Souths 263 and Neal delivered that in spades, taking on the Souths’ bowling to score 39 not out. Don’t forget he took four wickets in the first innings as well.
1. Bailey Kenzie (Gold Coast)
Kenzie played a captain’s knock down the order, scoring 31 and added valuable runs at a time when South Brisbane were on top at 6-175.
Special mention: Jacob Dunne (Souths) who got wickets at the start, the middle and at the end.
Northern Suburbs 189 & 8-d/153 v Sunshine Coast 139 & 3/63
2. Brayden Forrest (Sunshine Coast)
Forrest produced a spirited second innings performance across 20 overs, taking 4-44. He received great support from Ben Baker who, although only claiming one wicket, bowled tightly to build pressure.
1. Alexander Procopis (Norths)
We will give one each to Norths bowlers Procopis, Sajan Gill, Dan Brown and Marcus Bean. Procopis cracked the Sunshine Coast innings open early with two wickets (2-14). Gill also claimed an early wicket (2-22) while Brown claimed 3-43 and Marcus Bean 2-41.
Special mention: Cody Pyne (Sunshine Coast) - Pyne played a loan hand of 66 (79 balls) in a collapsing Sunshine Coast innings, entering the crease at 4-43 and getting his side to 139.
Valley 9-424 v Wynnum-Manly 313
3. Tom Collier (Valley)
Valley has a fine crop of young players coming through and stylish top order batsman Collier is one of them. The son of Marist College Ashgrove old boy James, Collier is a former Ashgrove First XI cricketer who scored 144 from 211 deliveries. It was his second grade hundred after making 194 against Toombul last season.
3. Cooper Mackie (Valley)
Another product from the fertile Marist College Ashgrove community, Mackie matched strides with Collier as the pair passed milestone after milestone. Valley have some real green shoots showing and Mackie is an example of that. Mackie’s initial grade century came in a hurry - he finished with 116 from 188 balls.
Western Suburbs 4/224 v Toombul 6-157
2 each to Brandon Honeybrook, Dom Donaldson (both Toombul) and Danny Young (Wests)
Against the odds Honeybrook held out for 55 not out as Wests pushed to victory, while Dominic Donaldson deserved the highest praise for his defiant 51 (165 balls). Danny Young (Wests) probed, taking 3-24.
THIRD GRADE, Norm McMahon Shield
Northern Suburbs 8-d/291 v Western Suburbs 228
3. Miron Nanayakkarawasam (Norths)
Miron Nanayakkarawasam, a leg spinner from BSHS’s First XI system, kissed up against a century before falling for 95. How he deserved a hundred.
2. Haydn Murray (Norths)
Murray played a nice captain’s knock to snare a half century, an innings which was a great support for Nanayakkarawasam.
Special mention: Joshua Lossberg (Wests) for his combative 15 overs that yielded 2-41.
University of Queensland 1-d/137 & 6/110 v Sandgate-Redcliffe 98 & 154
3. Henry Hillier (Uni)
Left arm orthodox spinner Hillier built pressure at one end, while slipping in for wickets here and there. The Churchie old boys’ figures of 27-13-41-3 said it all.
2. Shreyas Vaidhyanathan (Gators)
In a low scoring game, Shreyas Vaidhyanathan’s 57 stood out like a lighthouse until the tight, controller bowling of left arm Henry Hillier dismissed him.
1. Elliot Beath (Uni)
Uni skipper led from the front with the ball, snaring 3-25 including two early wickets which rocked his rivals. He also scored a second innings 21.
Gold Coast 219 v South Brisbane 125 & 3/42
3. Brendan Mcnae (Souths)
Gold Coast were far better but we just had to give Souths club stalwart and veteran Mcnae high praise for his five wicket haul (5-51). But it is not just the wickets he takes or the runs he scores, off the field he is a mentor to young players and on it a grand competitor who must inspire those around him.
2. Om Bhikadiya (Souths)
The Dolphins won the war courtesy of its first innings bowling and top order batting on Saturday, but Souths did win some skirmishes last Saturday, including Om Bhikadiya who claimed 4-31. An off spinnerm, he has risen through the ranks from sixth grade last year to third grade this season.
1. Hudson Izzard (Gold Coast)
Izzard did most damage in the first innings, but he snared another second innings wicket to claim five for the match.
Redlands 250 v Wynnum -Manly 247
2. Chase Rodgers (Redlands)
Rodgers was a batting marvel - after a big first day bowling effort. Rodgers scored a half century (55) during a match winning partnership with Matt Short 46 not out. In the field Rodgers may not have got a bagful of wickets, but his 19 overs (2-28) set a high standard in a tight match.
2. Jon Shaw (Wynnum)
Shaw’s mighty first innings 120 not out gave his side every chance against the Tigers, but it was Redlands who prevailed in the battle of the bayside. English-born Shaw, who has been there, done that during decades of playing, was tremendous.
1. Bodie Richardson (Wynnum)
What a gallant performance this was from Richardson. He went for some runs, but kept taking wickets and would have been a matchwinner if it had not been for Rodgers and Short late in the Redlands innings. He claimed 6-81.
Special mention: Matt Short (Redlands) - the Tigers were in deep trouble until Short backed himself and plundered a quick 46.
FOURTH GRADE, Bob Spence Shield
University of Queensland 10/158 & 6/153 v Sandgate-Redcliffe 146
Tirth Shah (Uni)
He got late wickets during a first innings shoot out, but he deserved them after displaying accuracy across a long spell. Shah finished with 2-25 from 22 overs, including two in a hurry at the end when the Gators were almost home.
Karmichael Dee (Gators)
Dee produced a big hearted performance to score 54 from 136 after his side had slumped to 6-69.
Jonathon Mctaggett (Uni)
Leading by example, he dismissed Sandgate Redcliffe’s two most prominent batsmen, Lachlan Allen (22) and Dee (54).
Special mention: Zak Olsen (Uni) for his second innings 62 from 92 deliveries.
Northern Suburbs 4-d/218 v Wests 95 and 6-201
3. Parth Patel
Patel was head and shoulders the best player on the field during day two. After Norths had batted and bowled their way into poll position, Patel worked overtime trying to deliver his side an outright win. He bowled 24-7-40-3 after a first innings performance of 2-41. It was a good effort.
Gold Coast 197 & 2/33 v South Brisbane 177
3. Hayden Trevethan (Gold Coast)
The young Helensvale Pacific Pines Hawks junior finished off the Souths innings in style, capturing three of his four wickets in a hurry just as Souths were focused on the finish line. His scalps included Souths’ Liam McConville who was on top at the time.
2. Corey Taylor (Souths)
Taylor led from the front before lion-hearted Dolphins’s bowler Ted Waterman trapped him in front for 68.
1. Ted Waterman (Gold Coast)
Both Waterman (2-25) and Mitchell Parkes (2-32) were team bowlers, tying a knot around their rivals and building pressure before Hayden Trevethan finished things off.
Valley 8-d/269 v 166 & 3/98
3. Tim Agapow (Valley)
He has come to our attention a few times in 2023, including during last season’s grand finals. And last Saturday he made a dramatic impact again with a brutal 79 (72 balls).
2. Jayden Draper (Valley)
Churchie product Draper was the ideal foil to a runaway Agapow, with his 45 constructed in more than two hours.
1. Ronan Van Dongen (Toombul)
Ronan Van Dongen felt the full brunt of Agapow but eventually he got his man, one of three wickets claimed by Van Dongen.
Redlands 8/317 v Wynnum-Manly 279
3. Kobey Maguire (Redlands)
Yet another local junior, Queensland junior representative Maguire plundered an almighty 107 from just 125 deliveries. His brisk innings made Wynnum’s imposing 279 look small, sharing a fabulous partnership with McClure (see below).
3. Lachlan McClure (Redlands)
It was a big betting day for horse racing followers, and you would also have bet on local junior McClure getting to his century when he reached 94. But Lachlan Butterworth-Love swooped to run out McClure, an Iona College old boy, who had scored 94 from 149 balls.
