RYAN COVEY CELEBRATES MAIDEN PREMIER CENTURY

Ryan Covey - maiden century ... after four hiccups in the 90s ! [Farnham Herald]
​​It’s been an agonizing wait – he’s previously been out four times in the nervous nineties and once on 99 – but Ryan Covey can at last celebrate his maiden ECB Southern Premier Division century.
It came with a match winning 100 not out, which carried Alton to a rain trimmed seven-wicket win over Havant at the Jubilee.
His 11-boundary hundred, scored off 110 deliveries, eased Alton past Havant’s 200-8 with eight balls of a truncated 44-over affair remaining.
Covey was run out for 99 at Bournemouth in June, but wasn’t prepared to allow a second opportunity to slip from his grasp as he delighted in making the winning hit to bring up his ton.
Alton needed one of their top order to get their head down and Covey obliged, playing an initial support role in a 53-run launch with Dan Harris (31) and then the decisive and unbroken stand with Scott Myers (31 not out) which got the Brewers home.
Havant’s total had been built around Pete Hopson (47), Stuart Ransley (43) and Richard Hindley (49), the innings falling away from 141-2.  Matt Bacon’s 4-28 return took his season’s tally to 35 wickets.
