As was largely the case in their victories over Brisbane State High and Toowoomba Grammar, there were no major standouts but important contributions from a number of players as TSS prevailed by 49 runs at Village Green.

Louis Chabert (43 not out), Jack Sinfield (32) and Justin Faber (29) were all instrumental in the hosts’ total of 9-210, with lower-order pair Finn Smith and Judd Markham chipping in with 21 apiece.

Austin Billing (2-16), Sinfield (2-18) and skipper Jack Hocart (2-44) claimed multiple scalps, while Sam Heathwood (1-1) and Liam O’Connor (1-21) took one each.

The result leaves TSS (31 points) two points clear of second-placed Brisbane Boys’ College as they chase a fourth-straight first XI premiership and their eighth in the past 11 years.
