ON THIS DAY - 29th October

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 01, 2023

In 1983, ROGER SATTLER (#378) made 98 for 1st grade v Easts. Chasing a modest Easts total of 183, Satts, batting at three, only got support from Greg Johnson (#352), as they added 100 for the 5th wicket. Johnson's wicket was the signal for an epic collapse, as Waratahs lost 6-14, mostly to Mick Porter who claimed 7-56 off 27 overs. Six of the batsmen failed to score!

In 1988, GRAHAM FROST (#333) made 91, returning from injury for 5th grade v Hillgrove. In 4th grade, SYD PHILP (#269) and IAN CAMPBELL (#212) added an all grades club record 144 unbeaten for the 9th wicket v Churches. Churches made 239 on the first day and had the game wrapped up when Campbelli came to the wicket at 8-107. Syd made 110 not out and Waratahs finished the game at 8-251.

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.
