The slow bowler picked up figures of 2-9 off five overs to help dismiss Bathurst City for 131, before hitting an unbeaten 100 on his side's way to declaring for 4-304.

Interestingly enough, Taylor thought he had to retire if he scored a century, so he walked off the pitch after posting his maiden senior ton.

However, when he came to the sideline, he found out that he didn't actually have to retire.

"It's pretty exciting," Taylor said about his efforts on Sunday.

"I walked off and the coach said, 'Good job'. Then someone told me I didn't have to retire. The coach told me he was going to retire me anyway."

It's remarkable that he even made 40 runs, considering his opposition dropped him on two separate occasions.

"I got dropped twice around the 20-30 run mark," he said.

After Centennials declared for 4-304, Redbacks were sent back in to bat again and Taylor continued his fine form with the ball, picking up four wickets for a total of six across two innings.

Centennials were unable to dismiss Redbacks to claim the outright points, with Bathurst City finishing the game at 8-135.

Bulls had achieved an outright win the round earlier when they defeated Bathurst Bushrangers, with Taylor picking up five wickets across two innings.

He didn't enjoy as much success with the bat, dismissed for a duck.

His total of 100 runs from two innings in fourth best in the league, while his 11 wickets from two matches is the highest by any player this season in Presidents Cup.

It's been about four years now since Taylor begun playing cricket in Bathurst, after his family moved from Adelaide.

He had previously played junior cricket for Rugby Union, before he linked up with Centennials Bulls for this season's Presidents Cup, because he knew the coach.

.Back in South Australia, he played his junior cricket with Vale Park and Hope Valley, before moving to Bathurst, where he said the "climate is completely different than Adelaide".

"It's so much colder," he said.

Taylor will be hoping to line-up again for Centennials when they take on St Pat's Old Boys Gold at Police Paddock this Saturday.

Centennials are undefeated after two rounds and lead Presidents Cup, ahead of ORC.

Gold sit in fourth, having lost one game and another.

The match starts at 1.30pm.
