AGSV Cricket: Will Stamper and Thomas Kenny lead the way

The AGSV Cricket season returns this weekend with a number of youngsters looking to continue their fine form in the competition. See the list of the players to watch here.

It has been an exciting start to the AGSV cricket season with a number of individuals shining bright for their schools.

Mentone hold top spot on the ladder with two wins and three draws and Assumption are in second place with two wins and two draws.

The beginning of the season was marred by wet weather leading to wash out draws for every school. Some suffered from additional called off games due to the poor cricket weather.

Following the conclusion of term four sporting action after five rounds, Leader Cricket has identified the key players shaping the AGSV Cricket season.

Will Stamper, Camberwell

The leading run scorer of the AGSV season has started the campaign in fine form. Will Stamper has scored two mega half-centuries of 87 and 91* for Camberwell and has been a major contributor to their positive start to the season. He has a total of 211 runs from three innings and looks to be a major player for the remainder of the AGSV season.

Braydon O’Connor, Marcellin

A century of 112 against Assumption was the highlight for Braydon O’Connor who sits third in the leading run scorers this season. He also scored 29 and 37 for Marcellin who have a win-loss record of 2-1.

What an innings, What a game. 🙌🏻Congrats to Co Captain Braydon on his century (112) this afternoon but unfortunately we fell one run short with our run chase. Well done @ACKilmore 1st XI. #StriveForTheHighest#WeMaristspic.twitter.com/bzh4ZE5NZQ
