Lawes leads from the front as St Jago snatch Grace Shield
In a thrilling final that ebbed and flowed over three days of high-quality schoolboy cricket, St Jago High School emerged as the champions of the First Global Bank Grace Shield, securing a hard-fought five-wicket victory over Campion College at a tense Melbourne Oval yesterday. The victory was orchestrated by the indomitable St Jago captain and West Indies U19 star spinner Vitel Lawes, whose all-around performance, including a match-winning, unbeaten 74 in the second innings, cemented his legacy as one of the school’s finest cricketing sons.
