The Mullumbimby Brunswick Cricket Club’s third grade side had a game to remember two weeks ago when father and son combination, Ali and Bob Ryan, both produced personal bests and helped their side to a big win.
Playing away at Lofts Oval against Terranora Lakes the visitors won the toss and elected to bat.
Maiden century
Ali Ryan came in to bat at first drop and went on to hit his maiden century of 128 that included 12 fours and nine sixes. The innings underpinned the Mullum Brunswick card that put them on 9/308 off their allotted 40 overs.
In reply Terranora was bowled out for 181 inside 29 overs on the back of Bob Ryan’s blistering bowling that delivered a career-first 5/19 off eight overs.
Terranora’s captain Dylan Shute scored 97 and was the best of the batters alongside Mark Instone (42). A century for the captain would have made it a remarkanle day for him too, after taking his own 5/57 (off eight) in the first innings.
But after the top order was removed Brunswick Mullum went through the last six batters for just five runs including four ducks.
Last Saturday the local side had a win after Cudgen forfeited.
Brunswick Mullum third graders are in fourth place with 18 points on the Tweed District ladder with three wins from seven games. They sit behind Terranora Lakes (24), Pottsville Pelicans (22), and the Murwillumbah Panthers (18).
