On Friday 24 May, the 166th Cordner-Eggleston Cup was played out at Scotch between the Scotch and Melbourne Grammar First XVIII teams.
OSCA hosted a pre-match lunch for old boy players of the decade teams from both schools. The lunch event is a celebration for parents and friends of the 2024 First XVIII teams, and a reunion for Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar First and Open teams from 1934, 1944, 1954, 1964, 1974, 1984, 1994, 2004 and 2014.
