Loorham, who has made 11 fifties since joining the Premier Cricket club in 2007-08, made 102 not out in the Rams’ win over Frankston Peninsula at the weekend.

It came off just 106 balls and included 10 boundaries and five sixes.

The wicketkeeper-batsman has been knocking on the door this season with scores of 87 and 57 against Richmond and Northcote.

Loorham’s century comes only months after former Lavington player Liam Scammell scored a century in his first season for Northcote, against Fitzroy Doncaster.
