Everton Districts Cricket Club is celebrating an incredible achievement in its junior ranks, after a club record-breaking performance by two of its Under 13 players on Saturday.

In a remarkable display of resilience and skill, Ryker Rostron and Alex Hayes forged a stunning 150-run partnership, setting a new all-time record for the club's junior program.

The partnership was particularly heroic given the circumstances. With the team reduced to just nine players due to illness and absences, the duo came together at a precarious 7/61, effectively as the final wicket partnership.

Ryker Rostron was the star with the bat, reaching his maiden century with a brilliant knock of 104 not out from just 86 balls, including 16 boundaries. He was ably supported by Alex Hayes, who played a composed and crucial anchoring role, contributing 30 runs from 78 balls.

The young cricketers kept the opposition in the field for a significant period, ticking off milestone after milestone: the team reaching 100, their own 50-run and 100-run partnerships, and then the crowning moment of Ryker's century. Their incredible stand was finally broken just after they celebrated their 150-run milestone.

While Ryker was brilliant and responsible for the bulk of the scoring, Alex's role in the partnership cannot be understated. He held up his end with maturity, ran hard between the wickets, and provided the solid support needed to allow Ryker to play his attacking game.

The entire club extends massive congratulations to both Ryker and Alex on this truly historic and memorable achievement!
