A magnificent century by boom Mackay representative cricketer Jack Law was a feature of Under 17s action in the Mackay Junior Cricket Association last weekend.
The Brothers’ young gun peeled off a superb 106 not out off only fifty four balls to mastermind a dominant victory over the Proserpine Pitbulls in a one day fixture at Abbott Park.
Sixteen-year-old Law – already an established first grade cricketer with the Brothers club – demonstrated his power hitting by thumping nine sixes and nine boundaries during his memorable knock.
The St Patricks College schoolboy shared a second wicket union of 74 runs with fellow top grade rookie Lachlan Ipson (16) before adding another 71 runs in an unbroken third wicket stand with rising colt Zac Miles (11 not out) to help Brothers post 2-155 from their 20 overs.
Law was then seen at the Great Barrier Reef Arena as a substitute fielder for the Australian A team in the test match against India A.
Proserpine quick Kai McLoughlin snared 1-17 in a five over spell and Malaki Gabey (1-12).
In reply, the Pitbulls were reeling at 5-19 before Ky Porter (21) and McLoughlin (14) added twenty eight runs for the sixth wicket.
Jordan Lawn hit an unbeaten 11 as Brothers restricted the Pitbulls to 8-70 with Eeden Thompson (2-2), Wesley Homewood (2-2), Jamon Smith (2-30) and Connor Muller (1-11) sharing the bowling spoils.
Mackay Magpies White stayed cool under pressure to stave off a fierce challenge from Walkerston Roosters at the Magpies Sports Ground.
Inspired by a classy half century from opener Benjamin Meng and wicket doubles to George Fortescue, Noah Haebich and Rory Franklin, the Magpies (6-131) edged out the Roosters (8-122) to jump to the top of the table after four rounds.
Meng compiled an impressive 50 off 81 balls and shared an opening stand of 51 with talented skipper Myles Cochrane (23).
Marshall Maher (2-7) and Lachlan Newbery (2-26) toiled hard for the Roosters, who finished nine runs shy despite a top knock of 43 by Marcus Sammut and promising starts from Nate Jackson (16) and Tyler Morris (15).
Jack Law had also scored 145 (113) earlier this season in September
