ON THIS DAY - 17th October

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | October 17, 2023

In 1981, JAMES CAMPBELL (#382) and TIM BINDLEY (393) added 102 for the 7th wicket for 4th grade v The Armidale School. In 3rd grade, JACK TRESTRAIL (#303) had a couple of good days in the match against St Kilda. Scoring 16 & 65 not out and taking 5-58 & 3-12. He also added 3 catches off his own bowling for good measure and placed himself on the Best Performance in a Match list. It was a game Waratahs probably should have won outright, with Tressie and David Tilbury reducing the Saints second innings to 5-12 until the ball was shared around.

In 1987, ANDREW WHEELER (#538) had a start to the season he would never forget, taking 11-117 (6-33 & 5-84) for 4th grade v Easts and top scoring in Waratahs first innings. It was a game he would never emulate, taking only another 6 wickets in his two season with Waratahs. In 3rd grade, TIM SQUIRE (#528) held 3 catches in Easts second innings.

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.
