HDCA Hurricanes Under-17 captain, Henry Bensch, has set the annual Warrnambool Colts Country Week carnival alight this week with some wonderful performances with both bat.

On the opening day of this week’s competition, Bensch lost the toss and was asked to bat first on what appeared to be a green, soft wicket, but it didn’t faze the Hurricanes skipper, as the team peeled off a target of 5-296 from 49 overs with Bensch leading the way with 116 from only 112 balls, a knock which included 15 boundaries and a further three maximums.
