Graham continued his rich vein of form with a sensational century for his Ex-Services’ side on Saturday.

The hard-hitting opener blasted 117 against Hillgrove, an innings that included a whopping 20 boundaries and three sixes to set up a total of 3-275 in just 41 overs.

Graham and opening partner Will Green [60] put on 60 for the first wicket.

When he raised his bat in the 29th over it brought up his second first grade century and he did it up in style by crushing one over the fence.

“Cody batted extremely well,” Servies club president Scott Graham said.

“He batted a little bit within himself too.

“Will batted well too, he is a great foil for Cody.

“He just turns the strike over.”

Winless heading into the match, Graham and Green led from the front as Servies posted a formidable total, but a masterclass with the bat from Hillgrove skipper Brad King broke the hearts of the brave Servies outfit.

King belted a quickfire 84 to leave Servies still winless and Hillgrove undefeated.

“You are going to win 99 games out of 100 in Armidale when you score 3-275,” Graham said.

“It was gut wrenching.”

Servies’ search for their first win continues tomorrow when they face East at the Armidale Sportsground, albeit with a depleted line-up.

Cody and Braden Graham, Nick Levy, Peter Collins and Ben Spence are all unavailable.

“Easts are going to be another tough game,” Graham said.

“They have a good all-round package.”

Graham highlighted Todd Francis as the big danger-man for Easts.

“Todd is in great form at the moment,” he said.

“Then they have Tyson Burey and Sam Uphill with the ball.

“It’s going to be a big challenge for our guys.”
