While there were many standout performances on Saturday, none shone brighter than 14-year-old Barwon Heads prodigy Elliott Gill.
The right-hand batter made a stunning 110 not out after coming in at 2/35 in C Grade against Anglesea.
Showing a temperament beyond his years, Gill brought up his maiden century with a leg-side pull to backward square amid joyous scenes from his teammates and some classy congratulations from the opposition.
