A tightly contested Round 14 against St George concluded on Saturday with the Students claiming 3 wins. 1st Grade chased down the target of 163 for the loss of 6 wickets to retain the O’Sullivan-O’Keefe Trophy and confirm a top 2 finish heading into the finals. 2nd Grade suffered a tough defeat despite some quality bowling from skipper Max Hope; St George reeling in the target of 308 with 4 wickets in hand. 3rd Grade defended their score of 357 thanks in large part to a vintage performance by Josh Toyer who claimed 5/46. In 4th Grade, Andrew Hazard lead the way with the bat, supported by James Veitch, to secure 6 points whilst 5th Grade were unable to chase down the imposing total set by St George on Day 1. Metro Cup played excellent cricket across the two weekends to very nearly claim an outright win. Cullen Hathurusinghe finished the match with the incredible figures of 11/50 from 31.3 overs.
Next week the regular season concludes in a one-day fixture against Eastern Suburbs.
