Sunday, L.O. Qualifying Final....HERO is BACK!
With his mind focused on cricket, Ian Moran has released the handbrake, has his hand on the wheel and pedal to the metal. In an amazing display of batsmanship, Ian has scored 121 not out from 122 deliveries, reaching the boundary rope 11 times today in the limited overs qualifying final match against Campbelltown. The time of this post is 3.52pm, more to come......
Other results from this match as the wickets fell. Will Hay 0 off 3, Scott Henry 43 off 78, Greg Mail 20 off 26, Mark Faraday 27 off 22 including a 6, Chris Jones 2 off 4, Liam Robertson 7 off 4 not out.
The students totaled 236 for 5.
The covers have gone on as it started raining, match reduced to 43 overs at this stage. 
The radar image as of 5.40pm is showing we should have a dry finish to the game, fingers crossed.
Update, covers off, Paskal and Moran have taken 2 wickets each, Campbelltown are on 65 for 4 at 5.40pm.
Looks like the skipper wanted a couple of wickets as well. Greg Mail has taken 2 for 24. Campbelltown are 147/8 @ 27.2 overs, there has also been a run out. Liam Robertson has chimed in and taken a wicket as well.
Will Duckworth Lewis be introduced, will it be a draw, will we win outright or will Campbelltown's tail wag like a demon? Click here to have it explained, clear as mud!
Update at 7.06 pm 158 for 9 @ 29.1 overs.........Ian has taken 3 wickets for 29.
End of day was 167 for 10 with Paskal adding one more wicket to his total. The revised total that Sydney ended up with was 205 off 32 overs. Campbelltown have plenty of wet stuff around to drown their sorrows, the good guys win and advance to the Semi finals next Sunday.

No play for students today.
A few photos from today. This was as close as firsts got to play.
The shots of the pitch - this was the pitch that 3rds was on last week. It was totally soaked.
The pitch for firsts was OK but the square and the surrounds were wet and more rain was around. The match was abandoned at 10.43 (Chris Jones and Dave Miller had a bet of some kind and I believe that the timing was important).
So not a ball was bowled today at Bensons lane or at University!

Help needed in the canteen
If you are like me, you spend a bit of time at Uni 1 oval and everything seems to run smoothly in the canteen. You would be correct, but.....it is because we have a few dedicated parents who make themselves available to assist. The thing that would absolutely make their day would be for some other parents to ask, "Hey, do you guys need a hand?" Their faces would light up brighter than someone who had just licked a wet power point!
Please don't leave the work to a few, they would love to be able to sit down for an hour or so and watch their sons play as well.

From the desk of Max Bonnell
Greg Mail's 79 on Saturday took him past 1000 First Grade runs for the season. He has 1026 in the season so far.
This is the fourth time that mark has been passed by a Sydney University batsmen - it has been done by Greg himself in 2006-07, by Jim Bogle in 1918-19 and by Ed Cowan in 2002-03.
Greg is the first to reach 1000 runs three times, he had also made over 1000 runs for Hawkesbury.Prior to this round, Greg was the ninth batsman to twice reach the mark of 1000 runs in a First Grade season. He joins Bill Alley (1942-43 and 1943-44); Scott Hookey (1994-95 and 1997-98); Matt Phelps (1994-95 and 1997-98); Bob Simpson (1967-68 and 1975-76); Ben Rohrer (2002-03 and 2006-07); Rod Davison (1993-94 and 1995-96); Greg Hayne (1998-99 and 2002-03) and Graham Rummans (2007-08 and 2008-09).
Greg began the season as the 29th highest runs scorer in the history of the First Grade competition. In the last two weeks he has taken his career tally to 10,144, moving past Greg Bush and Martin Haywood into 18th position.
