ON THIS DAY - 15th November

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 15, 2023

In 1980, B grade achieved their biggest winning margin when they defeated Centrals by an innings and 173 runs. After Mark Dell and Bill Maguire cleaned up Centrals in the first day, the Waratahs middle order flexed its muscles and batted into the second day, making 9-360. Six bowlers shared the wickets as Centrals batted in vain, with Greg Johnson's leggies being the best return.

In A-Res grade, PETER SNELL (#384-pictured) took 7-67 with his leggies to eventually roll Ex Services and a narrow win for Waratahs after 75 from Mike Henderson on the first day, his best score for Waratahs.

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.
