GORDON BATSMEN TAJ BRAR AND DYLAN HUNTER ACHIVE RARE FEAT
Just three weeks Taj Brar and Dylan Hunter scored their maiden centuries together for Gordon.
On Saturday, against Western Suburbs, the inform pair repeated the feat.
Delighted to have helped his side to the crucial win in the fifth round of NSW Premier Cricket, Gordon batsman Brar said he’s not able to put his finger on why his form has been so good.
“It’s pretty cool. A bit of deja vu,” said Brar, an exercise physiologist from Rouse Hill who came to the club from Blacktown last year after playing his junior cricket with Parramatta.
“I’m not sure why we’re doing so well together but it’s easy when he’s just smashing Sixers lucky does. “It makes it easy to play with.”
Brar put on 108 for the opening stand with Lachlan Barnsley (60) and adding 180 with Dylan Hunter (105*) for the unfinished 2nd wicket.
Brar believe a season together in first grade last season has given him the confidence needed for the performances he is producing.
“To be honest, the whole experience of playing for that year just helped me, having that whole year in first grade. I’ve never had that before,” he said.
“The faith they put in me has helped a lot.”
The 24-year-old said he has never been a part of any NSW Pathway programs but is open to any opportunity that cricket presents.

In the same match, Western Suburbs captain Josh Clarke produced the highest score of the round with his excellent 126 not out.
