ON THIS DAY - 10th November

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 10, 2023

In 1962, GEOFF MacDONALD (#168), in the midst of a spectacular season, took 10-70 (6-26 & 4-44) for B grade as they defeated TAS outright. He also scored handy runs in both innings. No scoresheet unfortunately.

Waratahs 155 (Keith Dawson 40, Geoff MacDonald 25, G Chapman 25. John Mair 5-40) and 6(dec)178 (Geoff Marshall 42, P Reeves 37, Geoff MacDonald 37) beat TAS 67 (Geoff MacDonald 6-26, Geoff Marshall 3-11) and 159 (D Mount 50x. Geoff Marshall 5-40, Geoff MacDonald 4-44)


In 1990, STEVE HADFIELD (#524) and STU McFARLAN (#606) added 142 for the 2nd wicket for 1st grade v TAS. McFarlan went on to 102 as Waratahs chased down 257, losing only 5 wickets. The match was also notable as the last game Graham Johnson played for Waratahs after 26 seasons. Guiley asked for a release to join TAS as captain and guide their young players. At season's end, he led TAS to the premiership in a boil over when they beat Waratahs in the Final.

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.
