Dan Cherry did what he did over 20 years ago, he scored 100 at Burton. Back then, it was the final of the Duggie Morris Cup against Pembroke as a 15-year-old, this time it was in a league fixture against the home side.

Simon Cole, a brilliant player in his own right was rather overshadowed by it all despite scoring 40.

They are second in the league at the moment, 30 points behind leaders Neyland.
