Cricket: Wilcock has proved a big hit for Edinburgh South
The 25-year-old kiwi, from the same Hamilton High School stable which produced celebrated Black Cap Scott Styris, achieved his landmark innings against Freuchie 2nds at Inch Park in Division Two.
That helped the club finished third in division two and Wilcock, who averaged 103, has provided another boost by agreeing to stay on for another season. “My visa is for two years so the plan is to remain in Edinburgh and maybe play some rugby with Lismore who share our facilities at Inch Park,” explained Wilcock.

“My 152 included half a dozen sixes and I was really just pleased to get some time at the crease.
“There were only seven league games due to the weather and we usually found ourselves batting second so that I had a few not-outs.”
