The Cavs captain finished 98 not out during his side's 80 run victory against Bathurst City in the Bathurst and Orange Inter District Cricket competition on Saturday.

"Triple figures doesn't really bother me too much. If you had offered me 98 before the game I would've taken it hands down," he said.

"It was more about getting the team to a target we could defend. It didn't matter who it was as long as someone got us there. This week it was me and next week it will be someone else."

The visitors were sent into bat on a grassy George Park pitch thanks to opening bat Hugh Middleton, who compiled 38 of his side's 43 runs before being caught out off the bowling of Tom Lynch.

That sent Corben into bat who went at more than a run a ball during his two hour stay at the crease.

"We knew that 160-180 was par on that wicket and we thought if we bat the full 40 overs we'll get what we need," Corben said.

"Luckily enough we got to 195 which we thought was 20 runs over what we needed and we took some early wickets which set the innings up and we never looked back.

"I hit the ball well which was nice after a couple weeks off. It always feels like the first game of the season when you have a couple weeks off."

Having set Bathurst City 195 to win, Cavs got off to a great start thanks to Hugh Britton who finished with 3-29 off his eight overs.

Young gun George Cumming then finished things off, skittling the tail to restrict the home side to 114 all out.

"Hugh taking the new rock, he is a really good opening bowler so it was good that he picked up some early wickets, and the wicket of Joey Coughlan which set up our bowling innings," Corben added.

"Then Georgy came on and strangled them and then got rewarded with the wickets later in the spell."
