North Nowra-Cambewarra’s Paul Davidson and Mal Windley from Berry-Shoalhaven Heads both reached the milestone.
This follows Bomaderry’s Matt Glyde (108) and Sussex Inlet skipper Dave Goodwin (101 not out) who made centuries in round one.
Davidson opened the batting for Norths in their clash with Bomaderry at Artie Smith Oval.
He rode his luck after being dropped on 20 and was given another chance in the 60s, going on to make 142.
It is the first time Davidson, who is a veteran of 15 years with the club, has made a century in any level of cricket.
Davidson scored the bulk of the runs at the top of the order, before skipper Vaughan MacDonald (85) and Jarred Cumming (39) did some damage as Norths racked up a massive total of 350.
Matt Glyde was the only one of the Bomaderry bowlers to enjoy much success with the ball, taking 5/68 from 18 overs.
Down at Hanging Rock, Berry’s Mal Windley made 105 against Batemans Bay.
Windley hit nine fours and five sixes in his innings and was well supported by the likes of Danny Troy (39) and Kane Armstrong (37).
Berry were bowled out for 239, with Pat Griffin (3/24) and Farley Prior (2/41) being the best of the bowlers for the Bay.
In the other games, Sussex Inlet have already picked up first innings points against Shoalhaven Ex-Servicemen, while Nowra are in a strong position against Ulladulla United.
Ex-Servos made a disastrous start to their innings at Sussex Inlet Oval, quickly losing 3/2.
Opening bowler Shane Bate was on fire for the home side, taking 4/3 from eight overs, including six maidens.
Owen Wilson (19) and Shawn Higgins (13) were the only two to reach double figures before Ex-Servos were bundled out for just 67.
Jake Westley (4/20) also bowled well for Sussex.
In reply, Sussex had already made it to 3/91 at stumps, with Dave Goodwin unbeaten on 36.
Ulladulla could be in a spot of bother on day two of their clash with Nowra at Nowra High.
Experienced campaigners Shane Ishwerood (36) and Tony Lavalle (37) were the only players to reach double figures in Ulladulla’s total of 113.
Wickets were shared around by the Nowra bowlers, with Lachlan Butfield (3/19) faring the best, while Dane Bowen (2/22), Stewart Graff (2/15) and Mark Wasley (2/20) took two each.
Nowra are 3/57 in reply, with openers Raymond Moore and John White each making 18, while Stu Brown chipped in with 15.
Steve Donohue has been Ulladulla’s best bowler so far with figures of 2/2 from seven overs.
