Teenage Sarisbury Athletic cricketer Harry Hovey was dismissed just three runs short of a maiden century on Australian soil playing for his adopted club, Melbourne Greenvale in the Victoria Premier League Second Grade against Camberwell Magpies, where Havant's Andy Gorvin played last winter.
Initially shining with the ball and taking two wickets in a tidy ten-over spell, the Havant-raised Hovey led the way as Greenvale attempted to chase down the Magpies 217-9 in 50 overs. He made 97 and was sixth out at 159-6 amid a massive batting collapse. The Kangaroos were 111-1 at one stage, with Hovey opening the batting.
