ON THIS DAY - 13th November

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 13, 2023

In 1965, two strong bowling performances, one in each grade. In 1st grade, D LITTLE (#199) took a hat trick on the opening day against TAS. After Tom Cooke took an early wicket, TAS had recovered to be 1-44 until Eric Smith broke through. Little removed Read in his fifth over and then Bill King, Jones and Pilcher in consecutive balls in his seventh. King was always a big wicket. He and and then in the 1990's, Lachlan Fulloon, were best batsmen TAS ever produced.

Waratahs v TAS - A grade, 13th & 20th November 1965

In A-Res grade, COL MARSHALL (#102) took 7-35 v de la Salle College on the first week of what would be thrashing handed out to the school side.

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.
