A sparkling century from opener Mark Faraday at the Village Green on Saturday helped Sydney University First XI remain unbeaten after four rounds of the Sydney Grade competition.

Faraday scored 119 as Sydney University chased down an imposing target of 337 for first innings points against UNSW, who had finished all out for 336 at the end of day one.

Faraday hit 17 boundaries and two sixes and faced 195 deliveries in his 225-minute stay at the crease, sharing a 153-run opening stand with Nick Larkin, who cracked 10 boundaries in his 72.

It was Faraday’s second First Grade century; he posted his maiden ton against Fairfield-Liverpool in Round 14 of the 2012-13 season.

When Larkin departed, Faraday shared a 74-run partnership with No.3 Adam Theobald, who scored 39.

Liam Robertson anchored the win with an unbeaten 39, while Tim Ley’s 25 not out cameo helped secure the points.

Thomas Skelly was the pick of the UNSW trundlers, finishing with 2-45 as the hosts spent a long day in the field.

The win elevated Sydney University to the outright lead in the competition on 28 points, with Penrith (24), St George (18), Manly-Warringah (18), Campbelltown-Camden (18) and Sutherland (18) making up the top six in the hunt for the Belvidere Cup.

Sydney University also remain undefeated in Second and Third grades.

Seconds picked up first innings points after declaring at 7-365 (Joshua Richards 110, Steven Hobson 101 not out) before dismissing UNSW for 118; while Thirds declared at 8-322 before dismissing UNSW for 223.

Bankstown lead the Second Grade ladder on 28 points, with Sydney University (24), Sydney (18), Northern District (18), Manly-Warringah (18) and  Gordon (18) making up the top six.

Sydney University head the Third Grade ladder on 28 points, with Randwick-Petersham (22), Gordon (18), Manly-Warringah (18), Sydney (18), and Sutherland (16) making up the top six.

UNSW took the honours in Fourth and Fifth grades.

Sydney University also head the Club Championship on 442 points, from second-placed Manly-Warringah on 370 points.
