Sydney Grammar School hosted the Tri-Grammar Series at Weigall in January.
The First XI started strongly in its two-day game against Brisbane Grammar School, posting a total of 8/259. Sydney had Brisbane in trouble at 3-45 before rain forced a drawn result.
The 149th year of the ‘Bat’ match, played between Sydney Grammar School and Melbourne Grammar, was one of the closest ever contested. Sydney batted first and were in early trouble with the score at 3/21, before rallying well to finish on 271. Melbourne started the run chase positively at 0/64, reaching 7/252 before two quick wickets left the game delicately poised. The final wicket of the match will be remembered by everyone who witnessed it: Jonty Snyman’s brilliant outfield catch, inches from the boundary, sealed a thrilling nine-run win for Sydney Grammar School. This result not only secured the ‘Bat’, but also the Tri-Grammar Shield for the first time since 2020.
Congratulations to captain Jonty Snyman (VI), Daniel Reypert (VI), Benjamin Ho (V) and Lachlan Webster (V), who have been selected in the Tri-Grammar Merit Team.
