ON THIS DAY - 8th October

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | October 08, 2023

All about hundreds on this day in Waratahs history.

In 1960, RAY ROSE (#58) and J BOUNDY (#118) added 106 for the 5th wicket for A-Res grade v Easts.

In 1983, ROGER SATTLER (#378) made his only Waratahs hundred when he scored 121 for 1st grade v Ex Services. It was part of a rich vein of form that season that saw Wally make runs and take wickets, almost unchecked. On the same day in 2nds, JACK TRESTRAIL (#303) and JASON KELLEHER (#415) added 210 for the 3rd wicket v Easts and it wasn't even a grade record! Unbelievably, two hundred plus was raised in partnerships for that wicket in A-Res/2nd grade on three separate occasions. Tressie made 117 and Jason remained 100 not out.

All-time cricket hero: Any bloke in the Royal Blue cap.

Favourite bat: The one that scored the most.

Most memorable moment in cricket:
1952-53 A grade Final, beating Easts 2 outright after our worst A/1st grade total in the sixty year history of the club. Beat the very strong Uralla in the last round to just scrape into the semis and then Easts 1 in the Semi. Played one player short on the first day after a mix up with team sheets and made 163 in the sunshine, Ross Ridley 59. Easts 0-57 at stumps after four dropped catches. Didn't play the second day for two weeks because of the Armidale Show and then after four days of heavy rain. Wicket now a sticky and impossible to bat on. Easts all out for 95, Don Paul 6-24. Batting a second time, Waratahs still one short and Ridley now out injured, all out for 21. Easts needing 90 don't make it to halfway, all out for 43, Don Paul 7-20. Waratahs win their first premiership in only their third season.
