Calmore Sports’ young left-hander Ben Johns celebrated his maiden century in Australian sub-district cricket when he made a chanceless 105 for his adopted Melbourne club, Brighton on the opening day of the VSDCA visit to Caufield.
Strong all around the wicket, the 23-year old (who has three Southern Premier League centuries to his name) cracked 105 to lead Brighton to 245-9, hitting 13 fours in energy depleting conditions.
A booming drive wide of mid-off brought up his half-century. He carried on to his maiden VSDCA century in his eighth match for Brighton, sharing a handy partnership late in the innings with St Cross Symondians all-rounder Jack Bransgrove (23).  The match resumes next Saturday.
Across the Tasman Sea and Havant’s Harry Gadd was celebrating too – 101 for his New Zealand club Queenstown Ballarat (304-5) against Maniototo in Otago’s 40-over Koford Cup.  He made 53 in a midweek T20 earlier in the week and prised out two Maniototo batsmen with his off-spin variation.
