Losses in the top three grades in the round of two-day matches against North Sydney, which finished on Saturday, saw Sydney University plummet to seventh on the Club Championship after going into the Christmas break on top of the ladder.

St George have taken over the lead in the Club Championship on 967 points, with Randwick-Petersham (912), Bankstown (864), Sydney (847), Manly-Warringah (825) and North Sydney (801) edging ahead of Sydney University (795).

Sydney University’s Club Championship aspirations also took a dent when First Grade failed to make the finals in the Twenty20 competition and the Under 16s won just two of seven matches in the A.W. Green Shield competition played during the Christmas school holidays.

Despite losing on the first innings to North Sydney at the weekend, Sydney University still head the First Grade ladder on 59 points, with Randwick-Petersham (58), Fairfield-Liverpool (51), Sydney (51), Bankstown (50) and St George (49) making up the top six. First Grade are also second on the limited (50) over competition ladder.

In the lower grades, Sydney University lie seventh in Second Grade, seventh in Third Grade, 16th in Fourth Grade and 14th in Fifth Grade, while the Poidevin-Gray Shield (Under 21) team is fifth on the ladder.
