A Year 8 student achieved a record-breaking cricket innings for Mahurangi College on February 24, scoring an impressive 233 runs from 130 balls.
Nikhil McClintock was playing in his third match for the college Colts team, which is otherwise made up of Year 9 and 10 players, against Rutherford College in Te Atatu.
Acting PE head Anthony Koers said McClintock’s outstanding innings included 32 fours and six sixes, and tripled his previous highest score.
“To our knowledge, it is the highest score ever posted by a Mahurangi College student,” he said.
McClintock was eventually caught out by Safran Chowdhury, but not before scoring a 319-run partnership with Jackson Adams, who batted 61 not out.
Mahurangi Colts scored 349 for two off 40 overs, beating Rutherford Boys’ by 265 runs.
