Sam Hughes smashes double century
KOONWARRA/Leongatha RSL’s Sam Hughes was a run machine on the weekend when he smashed 202 not out to claim a huge win for his team against top side Wonthaggi Miners on the eve of finals.
In a huge confidence booster for the Cougars Hughes and Nathan Toms, scoring 113, made 237 for the first wicket. By the time Toms fell, Koony needed just 50 runs to win the match.
Koony did this with no further wickets lost as Josh Moore made 31 and combined with Hughes to get the team over the line, finishing with 1/361.
This is against the side that’s been on top of the ladder most of the season.
All Miner’s bowlers were punished, for example, 99 coming from Phil Owen’s 9 overs (11 per over).
