Below are some of the highlights from Saturday’s action you may have missed.

The Blair Taylor-Lloyd project

Nagambie’s thumping round four B-grade win over Shepparton United will live long in the memory of those in attendance at Vibert Reserve.

Especially for one Nagambie opening batter.

Blair Taylor-Lloyd crunched a powerful 142-run knock in his side’s 230-run rout.

Taylor-Lloyd’s century was the second of his career and it was also the highest score from his 171 matches.

The big-hitter has been in stellar form of late and registered a half-century in round three.

And to top it all off, Taylor-Lloyd collected 2-4 to help Nagambie pencil in its thrashing.

The Lakers’ win sends them to the top of the Clyde Young Shield ladder.

Nolen notches up maiden ton

The second triple-figure score of the day came in the Whitelock Shield encounter between Katandra and Mooroopna.

Cats opening bat Mark Nolen produced a sensational century at the top of the order as he spearheaded Mooroopna to an eight-wicket win.

Chasing Katandra’s total of 141, Nolen went straight to work and crafted a stunning unbeaten 101 runs from 106 deliveries.

It was the maiden ton of his career — one that spans two seasons at Mooroopna.

His innings featured a dozen highlight reels.

Nolen crunched nine boundaries and sent three sixes over the ropes.

Blues tough out narrow win

Numurkah was able to cling on in a thriller against Northerners in SJ Perry Shield action.

The Blues posted 9-150 batting first in the D-grade encounter and successfully restricted the Jets to 134.

Dustan Ebborn was a standout for Numurkah with his mesmerising 4-25 from eight overs, while Myles Martin chipped in with 2-25.

Mitch O’Dwyer was the pick of the Numurkah batters with a classy 37.
