Wicket Keeper Batsman of Salem 1st XI Nick Wilmot continues his splendid form in the Grahamstown Cricket Board (GCB) with yet another superb century against Rhodes on Saturday at Salem. He helped his side to a comfortable 7-wicket bonus point win and registered a back-to-back century in the space of a week.
The bonus point win put Salem firmly on top of the GCB 1st League Overall Log, with Cuylerville occupying the second. Salem 2nd XI also extended their lead on top of the GCB 2nd League Log.
