A 254 run, sixth wicket partnership has seen new records set by juniors Robert Barker and Hayder Aly of our combined Redfield/Galston-Glenorie U15s team.

On the 19th of November at Greenway#2 against WPHCCC, Rob came in to bat at 1/23, with Hayder coming to the crease when the score was 5/79. What followed was an onslought of runs that lasted for almost 3 hours.

Rob scored 231 off 147 balls, which included thirty six 4’s and six 6’s. Rob broke a record from 1949/1950 (Cunningham – 200) and also, according to the HK&HDCA website, scored the second highest score ever in juniors history. 231 also broke the Galston-Glenorie highest innings score, passing the 225 set by both Justin Epthorp and Harry Pears.

Hayder played the supporting role, showing patience and maturity beyond his years, scoring 46 off 87 balls including five 4’s. According to those at the ground, “… by about halfway through the innings, it was like watching 2 seasoned professionals who had batted together for years“.

Congratulations to Rob and Hayder on their monumental achievements!

Following the success of their junior coaching clinics over the past two cricket seasons, HKHDCCA has planned two more clinics during the January 2012 school holidays.
