In 1966, TOM COOKE (#197) took 7-31 for A grade as Churches were dismissed for just 115 - 4 of them bowled, 2 lbw. Top score for Churches was future Waratahs player Merv Philp, one of of six past or future Waratahs players in the Churches team.


In 1983, BOB BARWICK (#234) and ANGUS MARTYN (#416) added 140 for the 4th wicket for 3rd grade v Uni Vets as they batted to to avoid an outright defeat on the second day of their match. On the first day, Barwick made 35 in the middle order as Waratahs collapsed for just 80. In 1st grade, JASON KELLEHER (#415) held 3 catches in an innings v YCW.

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.
