Sydney University skipper Nick Larkin posted his third century of the season in the Students’ first innings win over Mosman in their two-day, Round 10 clash at Allan Border Oval at the weekend.

Larkin cracked a career-high 246 in Sydney University’s 7(dec)-413, with his 276-ball occupation including 25 boundaries and five sixes.

He shared a 133-run opening stand with Ben Trevor-Jones (59) and a 180-run stand with No.4 Liam Robertson (66).

The Students declared at their overnight total and returned on Sunday to dismiss Mosman for 276, with Joe Kershaw (4-41) and Tim Ley (3-74) causing the damage.

The win lifted the defending premiers to second on the competition ladder on 43 points. Campbelltown-Camden head the ladder on 44 points, with Sutherland (43), Parramatta (40), Sydney (40) and Bankstown (39) making up the top six.

Larkin has now scored 646 runs from seven knocks for the grade cricket season at the healthy average of 92.3. He scored 140 against Hawkesbury in the second round and 136 against Fairfield-Liverpool in the eighth round.

It was his second double century for the Students – he cracked 206 not out against Manly-Warringah last season – and his  15th century for the club, including 13 in First Grade, one on Second Grade and one in Poidevin-Gray Shield.

He now has 6803 runs in all grades for SUCC in his ninth season with the club.
