Week five of Cricket Gold Coast was the biggest weekend so far this season, with nine individual hundreds and players setting their teams up for the win.
With the juniors half way through their two day games, we scaled through the seniors grades to find the top 19 performances below.
Top senior performers:
Jai Kurt – 102* (68) / 2-17 (8)
Round 5: Mudgeeraba v Coomera Hope Island, Premier Second Grade

Nick Mahoney – 91 (91)
Round 5: Mudgeeraba v Burleigh, Premier Third Grade

Round 5: Surfers Paradise v Green Tamborine Mountain Canungra, Premier Third Grade
Coming on to bowl when Tamborine were 2-120, this young right arm pace bowler hit the nagging length consistently, showing maturity with the ball well above his years.
Reece Neyland – 72* (66) / 3-25 (8)
Round 6: Alberton v Runaway Bay, Premier First Grade
It may not be the biggest score over the weekend, but it could very well be the most important knock and figures as Reece Neyland helped his side win by 16 runs.
Jared Spies – 55* (100) / 4-25 (8)
Round 6: Coomera Hope Island v Mudgeeraba, Premier First Grade
Spies almost got his team over the line with his 55* coming in at number three and his 4-25. Coomera Hope Island fell just two wickets short of knocking off the premiership favourite.
Connor Blakely – 5-34 (8)

Scott Robson – 162* (78)
Round 5: Broadbeach Robina v Surfers Paradise, Community Div 1

Round 5: Coomera Hope Island v Alberton, Community Div 2
Being sent into bat, Coomera Hope Island were looking for a great start, and that is exactly what they got with Daniels and Foley having a partnership of 195 to get their side to 4-256 from their 36 overs.
Daniel Foley – 84 (92)
Round 5: Coomera Hope Island v Alberton, Community Div 2
