Tom Jagot Joins the Elite 4000 Run Club
In the first innings of round 14 against Mosman Tom Jagot scored his 4000th First Grade run for the Bears. In doing so, Tom joined an elite club of only 21 players who have achieved this feat in the club’s 128-year Premier/Grade cricket history. His name joins the likes of Phil Marks, Scott Hookey; teammates Rob Aitken, James Aitken and Justin Avendano; and the legendary Austin Punch.
