Hampshire Academy opener Wilf La Fontaine Jackson suffered the heartbreak of being run out four runs shy of his second Sydney University century in the New South Wales Under-21 Poidevin-Gray Shield competition.
The immediate past Winchester College teenager had hit a six and seven fours in his 96 when he was run out in a mix-up. Nonetheless, his score helped the University to a handsome 275-4 and an eventual comfortable win over Blackdown Mounties, who were dismissed for 159, Wilf removing both openers with catches at slip.
Across the Tasman Sea, Dorset's Jacob Gordon suffered a similar run-out fate - being caught an agonising 86 runs short of a century for Morrinsville Piako in the Hamilton & Waikato Premier Cup. His match against joint leaders Pukekohe was washed out as was the entire Grade programme in Adelaide and Melbourne.
South Wilts teenage left-hand spin all-rounder Archie Fairfax-Ross was able to put his feet up as Mudgeeraba piled up 294-3 against Surfer's Paradise. But the former Academy youngster returned a tidy 2-18 off 11 overs with the ball.
In South Africa, Burridge opener Mat Goles continued his good form with 73 in Cape Town's win over Primrose, while Hambledon leggie Justin Behrens took 3-35 in a WPCC win.
