At Raeburn Place, Gregor Maiden reminded everyone of his undoubted all-round talent as the vice-captain led Grange to a victory over Dunfermline Knights.

Maiden scored his first league century since June 2008 by smashing 166 not out in a display of superb strokes to leave the visiting attack not sure where to bowl.

Grange's next highest scorer was teenager Oli Hairs with 32 as the hosts made 294-8. In reply, Vasu Reddy himself scored a well-worked century for the Fifers, but his side could only reach 233, Maiden snapping up three wickets to cap a great day.

Forgotten man Gregor Maiden yesterday delivered a timely reminder to Scotland coach Pete Steindl by producing an astonishing all-round performance as he inspired Grange to victory over top flight newcomers Dunfermline.

Steindl was on the Raeburn Place boundary rope to watch Maiden smash a career-best 166 not out.

He then snapped up three cheap wickets to snuff out any prospect of a meaningful fightback by the Fifers.

Maiden's epic knock lasted only 151 balls and he thumped three sixes and 19 fours to guide the hosts to a lofty 294-8.

Vasu Reddy provided stout resistance with his 101 for the Fifers, but the support act were unable to produce the goods when it mattered and they slumped to 233 all out.

Maiden has been persistently overlooked by Steindl and his cohorts for some years. However, he proved in emphatic fashion that he is more than capable of shaping and winning matches.
