Skipper's century tips Onslow to victory
- College Sport Wellington
- Daniel Pile has had the Midas touch this month.

Pile has had to wait for both milestones, as the year 13 student is in his fourth year with the senior team. A five wicket bag had looked a matter of when, rather than if, but the 17-year-old could have got long odds on his chances of scoring a premier one century.
