Eagles skipper Luke Scott broke through for his maiden century at any level last weekend, registering a massive 178 not out in a last-round win over South Launceston.

The 23-year-old's ton was brought up in low-key fashion but finished as the equal-fourth best score of any cricketer nationwide across the weekend.

Scott, who also made five 50s and three scores of 40-plus this season, said he had been "pretty pumped" to reach three figures for the first time.

"I just got one through the off-side and took a single and that was it," he said.

"There wasn't too much carry-on. It's obviously been a lot of work going into this season and it was nice to get a bit of reward to finish the year."

A rain-affected first day at Invermay Park saw Scott left on 90 not out overnight, having helped rebuild Mowbray's innings from 2-14.

He finished with exactly two thirds of Mowbray's 7-268 before his coach James Storay took a five-for to seal a 55-run win.

"It was fantastic to get a win for the team," Scott said.

"It's been a bit of a long season with not too many wins, but to take a bit of momentum out of that and into pre-season for next year [is fantastic]."

Now several years into a rebuild, the Eagles are beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Scott and Storay both enjoyed career-best seasons as club leaders, but importantly, had help from the Eagles' next generation.

"I think it's been a pretty positive year," the left-hander said.

"We beat Westbury who are playing finals and nearly beat Launceston but for AT [Alistair Taylor] making 130 or whatever he made, so we're not too far away when we're bringing our best cricket.

"There's certainly been some new faces come in and younger guys that have stepped up and played more significant roles like Jonty Nicolson, who's eligible to play in under-16s, and he's cemented himself an A-grade spot for three quarters of the season.

"Jim's been fantastic all year - he's going to take a bit of a backwards step from coaching, but he's certainly not going anywhere and we're lucky to have someone bowl how he bowls."
