McNeil made 113 on Saturday with the skipper bringing up triple figures with a towering six.
“It was really special making it at home with so much at stake,” McNeil said.
“We were 4-60 going into day two chasing 180 and, if we lost early wickets, we were in strife.
“There was a bit riding on it and that keeps you concentrating fairly hard.
“It was good to put together a handy partnership.
“It was good fun.”
It was a big day for the Border with McNeil captaining Melbourne University against former Holbrook and Lavington player Steve Taylor’s Northcote line-up.
Liam Scammell also played in the match.
“We have a few CAW players down here,” McNeil said.
“The other week we played against Joe Loorham at Ringwood.”
