Mosca currently sits in sixth place on the top scorers list this season with the 132
he scored in round three.
Another strong display came from Mosca’s young teammate Ryan Felsch, who hit five sixes for the second time in a week.
Felsch, who hit five sixes in his 93 in the last round, again hit five sixes in scoring 69 against UTS-North Sydney.
The breakout performance of the week was by young UNSW player Jack Attenborough.
He scored two centuries in the AW Green Shield in 2017-18 and two in the Poidevin Gray Shield in 2019-20.
But until the weekend the teenager had scored just a single half century (54) in his 22 first-grade innings.
Then, just 10 days after turning 19, he opened and scored 101 for UNSW against Parramatta
