ON THIS DAY - 13th October

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | October 13, 2023

In 1956, JOHN RICHARDSON (#38) and DOUG JOHNSTONE (#47) added the neat 100 for A grade for the 4th wicket v de la Salle College. In B grade, JOHN DICKSON (#66) had the misfortune to bag a pair v de la Salle. They were two of the eight ducks he recorded in this, his only season for Waratahs.


Waratahs v de la Salle College - A grade, 6th & 13th October 1956


In 1962, D LANG (#138) made 112 not out for A grade v TAS.


In 1979, GRAHAM PATTERSON (#346) made the first century of his life, on his 40th birthday! Batting with PETER LANGSTON (#357) he added 165 unbeaten for A-Res grade for the 2nd wicket v St Peters. Langston's second innings 55 not out, when paired with his first innings 95, made him one of only six players to make fifty or more in both innings of a match. In B grade, GARY JOICE (#294) made 118 not out v O'Connor.

The history of a proud club which grew men from boys through the simple act of trusting them with something very precious.

Favourite players: Life members: Alan Gray, Harry Deiderick, Graham Johnson, Ian Campbell, Syd Philp, Graham Patterson & Albert Hofkamp.

Favourite grounds: Wicklow Oval (Rologas Fields), Harris Park, West Armidale Park (Lambert Park), The Armidale Sportsground

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.
