7th grade skipper Dom Wheeler along with other talented up-and-comer Jeff Porter-Denning led their side to a huge 4/377 as they both registered their maiden centuries against Manly 7th Grade at Dee Why on Saturday. The two put on 111 for the third wicket, Dom was the first to reach the milestone before he was caught out for 119. Not long later his partner joined him in the centurions club and then was also caught for 117. From there 7ths didn't lose another wicket to cap off a day that Jeff and Dom will long remember. James Price scored 40* to add to his 41* last week.
In other grades, 1sts were bowled out for 210 at Griffith Park, which they believe is not enough. Seaforth are 1/30 in their chase. 2nds are 4/60 chasing Long Reef's 150 at Lake Park, which they should knock over next week. 3rds are 3/28 chasing St Peters' 142. 4ths did well to recover from 4/60 to reach 240.
And a frustrated 5ths had their days play cut short at 3/40 (chasing Long Reefs small total of 99) when the notorious Plateau Park sprinklers came on with around 20 overs still left in the days play. Junior teams have also had sprinkler problems throughout the week with training sessions being interrupted. It is a ridiculous problem to have after what the Oval has been through in the past 18 months, especially considering this isn't the first time the sprinklers have been a menace. You would have though the council would have learnt by now.
