Neerim-Neerim South's Mason McGarrity was the talk of the town on Saturday as racked up his 100th goal of the season.
Coming into the Cats' home clash with Nilma-Darnum on 99 majors, it took less than two minutes for McGarrity to mark on the lead and kick truly for his triple digit milestone.
Blue confetti and a crowd invasion followed as McGarrity was swarmed from all angles.
He is the second player to reach the ton in the Ellinbank and District league this season after Longwarry sharpshooter Jason Wells achieved the same just over a month ago.
McGarrity ended the day with seven goals as the Cats thumped the Bombers 30.29 (209) to 2.5 (17).
