The club veteran, who is ranked in the top five wicket takers and runscorers, brings up the milestone as the Colts look to continue their unbeaten start to the season against Wagga City.

Vincent debuted in the 1990-91 season as just the club’s 23rd player.

Now he plays alongside those into the 170s, but is still loving being in the middle and sees himself as a father figure to his younger teammates.

“I’ve always been pretty competitive, loved the game and hate not playing and even though I’m getting older, I’m 44 now, the brain thinks it’s pretty competitive,” Vincent said.

“The body on Sunday sometimes thinks differently, but it’s not too bad and I’ll play for as long as I can.”

A shoulder injury saw the former captain call stumps in 2012, but it wasn’t for long.

He was back two years later and plans to play on until he feels he’s no longer contributing to the side.

Some say it’s his short run up that’s keeps him going, but for Vincent that’s just a way to save energy.

“I’ve been telling people for 30 years their run up is too long,” he said.

“I don’t bowl as many overs as I used to, I was averaging 30 plus a game straight in the ‘90s but these days I’m quite happy for the young blokes to do their bit and I’ll just drop in and do what I have to in the middle.”

Not one to focus on individual achievements, despite taking more than 250 wickets and scoring more than 2300 runs for the club, Vincent rates his premierships successes as his real highlights.

Part of Kooringal brilliant run in the ‘90s and early 2000s, where they won eight straight premierships and nine in 10 years, the 1991-92 premiership stands out above the rest.

“The first one is always pretty special,” Vincent said. 

“It is hard to go past that one as back then there were only two people, Tom Purcell and Craig Orr, were the only people over 18 and you could go and have a drink with.

“We were dubbed the ‘Milky Bar kids’ as after that the rest of us were 16 or 17 and couldn’t even have a drink.”
