An unbroken fifth-wicket partnership between Jim McPherson (44) and Ian Mill (51) steered the tourists to 176 for 4 after 47.1 overs only for JICC to pass their total in 30.3 overs with teenager Hughes striking a boundary to secure the win and gain him his first JICC three-figure score.JICC fixtures secretary David Taylor said: ‘It was a splendid innings from Oliver and with the scores level he had to hit a boundary to reach the ton and that’s exactly what he did.
He and Paul Marshallsay laid the foundations for the win with an opening partnership of 107 while earlier Lee Graveson bowled very well with 15 overs straight off to finish with three wickets for 35 runs.’Young Lord’s Taverners are the next tourists to Grainville on 30 and 31 May.
