Portadown's match against Short & Harland in August 1970 produced one of the most amazing innings ever played in Irish cricket. Tom Guy hit 3 sixes and 20 fours in his innings of 145 not out - the other eight batsmen could only manage 7 runs between them!

The seventh wicket partnership between Guy and Haycock put on 81 runs with Guy scoring 80 of them … and the 8th wicket added 35 runs with Guy scoring them all.

Tom Guy therefore scored over 95% of Portadown's total - an incredibly high percentage.
