JOE WEATHERLEY HITS MAIDEN DOUBLE CENTURY

Hampshire's Winchester-based batting starlet Joe Weatherley celebrated his maiden double-century playing for his adopted Australian club Woodville in the South Australia Premiership pennant in Adelaide.
The 19-year old, pictured being congratulated by opener partner Conor McInerney (94), was playing his second Grade match for Woodville, with whom he spent last winter.
Weatherley, who plays ECB Premier Division cricket locally for St Cross Symondians, cracked three sixes and 23 boundaries in a magnificent 220 as Woodville piled up a huge 419-2 before Prospect reached 52-1 by stumps.
"It transpired I helped create a Woodville club record opening partnership of 203 (it was previously 187), but fell one run short of their all-time individual score of 221 set years ago.
"Nonetheless, it was a wonderful day - one I'm unlikely to forget for a while," he smiled.
 Weatherley's previous best score was an unbeaten 180 for Hampshire seconds against Nottinghamshire last summer.
"We had to declare in a three-day game so was robbed of a double hundred," he smiled.
Hampshire team-mate Brad Taylor is also playing for Woodville, but will have to wait until this Saturday before getting a chance to bowl.
