Two batsmen who hit their maiden centuries share the honours in this week's EDP24/Hansells Cricket Awards.

Alex Browne, 21, of Saxlingham A and Lowestoft Town B 14-year-old Billy Brice reached three figures for the first time to help their sides to convincing victories.

Browne hit 144 in a fourth wicket partnership of 198 with Phil Bartram, who made 57. His innings included 16 fours and five sixes and helped Saxlingham recover from a precarious 19 for three to win at Aylsham St Giles in Knights Norfolk League Division Five.

Brice, who is also captain of Lowestoft U15s, hit 115 as his side beat North Elmham to stay top of Knights Norfolk League Division 10. His achievement also meant he beat his brother, 16-year-old first team player Tom, to the century mark.

Both award winners receive £10 vouchers to spend at Pilch Sports in Norwich.

On a good weekend for batsmen, there were also nominations for: Hardingham's Michael Breame, 32, who made 113 against Old Catton; 10-year-old Norfolk U10s skipper Matthew Taylor, who made an unbeaten century in the county side's trip to the Colwall festival; and Billy Brice's Lowestoft B team-mate, Harvey Hebditch, who took four for six against North Elmham.
