Eskdale Cricket Club's Tom Hodgkin marked his century with his 12-year-old son Buddy Wallace-Hodgkin at the crease in a district second-grade match last Saturday. Buddy scored two runs from 56 deliveries but stayed at the bat long enough to see his dad reach the milestone.
Tom finished with 118 runs from 93 deliveries, including three sixes and 14 fours. The partnership spanned 65 runs.
Tom said it was a moment he will never forget. The club fielded five players aged 14 and under and has fielded an under-14s team for the first time in more than a decade.
