At the 24th edition of the Sir Garfield Sobers International Schools Cricket Tournament held in Barbados in July 2010, there were two groups Zone A and Zone B . St. Mary's College placed 3rd in Zone B , and finished overall in 5th place out of the overall 18 teams that participated this year. Apart from the usual teams from Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad, Dominica and Bermuda, there were new teams from the UK, Australia, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and Bequia in this year's tournament.
St. Mary's College, captained by Form 6 student David Clarke , eventually won 5 out of their 8 games, giving their best display in all the nine years of coming to this tournament finishing in their highest position ever. The Saints whipped the teams from Australia, UK, St. Lucia and 2 of the strongest teams and past winners from Barbados - Combermere School and Lester Vaughn School. A notable achievement indeed.
