14-year-old Danny hits maiden Hampshire League ton in remarkable fixture that included four centuries and almost 700 runs
Gosport Borough 3rds teen Danny Bradley-Turner smacked 122 off just 84 balls as his side piled up a huge 397-3 total against Clanfield at Privett Park.
Bradley-Turner, whose previous highest HL score was 58, struck 13 boundaries and five sixes in setting what is potentially a new club record as the youngest ever century-maker.

On his Gosport debut, the West Indian - who hails from the Windward Islands - lashed a stunning 171 not out off just 79 balls.
He flayed the Clanfield attack to all parts, whacking 21 fours and eight sixes in the Division 5 South East fixture.
His partnership of 286 with Bradley-Turner is a new record for any wicket in Gosport’s history.
