Rawson Cup Cricket leads the campaign to retain the Rawson Cup in 2025. The team played a scheduled pre-comp game on 27 February on the College Oval against I Zingari Australia. This is an annual match and helps our cricketers prepare for the Rawson Cup campaign. The College is very appreciative to have one of the premier cricket clubs in the country, founded in 1888, on our wicket for this early-season game.

The first two games were against St Andrew’s and then Wesley. St Andrew’s 151 all out, and Paul’s chased it losing 3 just wickets to win. Wesley 249 all out, and St Pauls 230, all out to lose.

On 13 March the tables turned when Wesley beat St Andrew’s and St Paul’s beat St John’s. A successful day saw St Paul’s bat first and set a total of 197. With the ball, St Paul’s got off to a solid start thanks to Julian Bagget which saw St John’s 3/17 off 8 overs. St Paul’s secured the win after dismissing St John’s for 170 in the 48th over.

Going from losing 3 games in last year’s campaign to securing a Victory Dinner this year, it is a testament to the team’s hard work and dedication. Congratulations to the cricket convenors of Bo Baffsky and Axel Bailey who led a solid campaign.

Congratulations to our victorious Cricketers, pictured above after their win against St John’s.
