Shaquille Graham is congratulated after his century.

If this is Shaquille Graham "dusting off the cobwebs" then Lakeland T20 teams should be worried heading into the rest of the competition.

Graham spanked 128no off 69 balls against Taupō Old Boys 1 at Owen Delany Park on Saturday, helping his Geyser WHHS Old Boys side to a seven wicket win.

Graham, who is back playing cricket after leaving for university five years ago, said it was good to dust off the cobwebs and knuckle in for a decent time at the crease.

"Opening the batting we were looking to advance the run rate early and capitalise on fielding restrictions, so I was just out there playing my shots.

"It was really just one of those days where everything you hit comes out the middle of the bat," he said.

Graham hit nine sixes and 10 boundaries in the knock.

BOP Indians continued their dominance with wins over Central and Geyser WHHS while Geyser JPC Old Boys accounted for the Rotorua Lions and Tokoroa easily.

Connor Scott was pick of the Geyser JPC bowlers against the Lions picking up 3/4 while teammate Dilraj Singh grabbed 5/20 in the second game against Tokoroa.

Half centuries by Paul Davey and Steve Howard saw Lake Taupō win their derby against Taupō Old Boys with a six wicket win.

With just two weekends left of the T20 competition BOP Indians and Geyser JPC have a strong lead on the table and looking likely to contest the final on November 24.
