In the 1999/2000 season, Matthew Phelps set a new benchmark in Manly first-grade cricket history by scoring an unbeaten 233 - the highest individual score ever recorded at that level for the club.
The innings took place at Manly Oval during an early-season match against local rivals North Sydney, who were captained at the time by former Waratahs legend and future Manly coach, Phil Marks.
