Tre Manders joined uncle Arnold Manders in the Cup Match record books as he hit his maiden classic century on the first day of this year’s Cup Match.The 18-year-old, playing in his second Cup Match and first on hostile soil, stroked 16 fours and three sixes in hisinnings of 109 that lasted 133 balls.His knock makes him the second Manders to reach the milestone, and puts him currently tied for 17th in the most runs in one innings in the annual spectacle.“It felt great to grab my first century in the classic, I really wanted it to be on the second day but I’m pleased with how the whole game played out,” said Manders.“I always believe that I can achieve big things if I really apply myself, and going out there early in our innings made me settle quickly into the game.“You have to take each ball you face as it comes and as myself and Janeiro laid the foundations it became easier to bat and I really enjoyed it.”Manders also shared a 181-run fourth wicket partnership with Tucker, who he joined at the crease with the defending champions on 110 for three.The stand put the pair in second place in fourth-wicket partnerships, behind St George’s’ legends Charlie Marshall and Clay Smith who shared a 212-run fourth wicket partnership a decade ago.While Manders grabbed the first ton of this year’s classic, he downplayed his superb knock having witnessed firsthand Tucker’s record-breaking performance on the opening day.He also expressed his disappointment at having to settle for a draw and had no doubt Somerset would have won had it not been for the rain-interrupted second day.“I was a witness to Janeiro chasing down the records he broke first hand, and he helped me with my mentality out there,” Manders said.“We fought well, going out there first we felt we got the better of the wicket so in the end I’m mostly satisfied.“We are obviously gutted because we really wanted to come down here and get the required result for our fans.“It has been more than 30 years since we won down here and we wanted to stamp our authority on the match, which we did, but in the end the rain made sure that both sides would leave with honours even.“We really wanted the win, but we still have the cup.”Manders’ uncle Arnold scored two centuries, in 1986 when he hit 103 not out and 1988 when he struck 104 not out.
