ON THIS DAY - 16th November

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 16, 2023

In 1957, ARTY SEE (#81) and JOHN McINTYRE (#99) added 104 unbeaten for the 2nd wicket for B grade v Dumaresq. In a one day game, Waratahs rolled Dumaresq cheaply and after an early wicket, See and McIntyre took charge until the declaration, made in attempt to secure outright points.

In 1968, TOM COOKE (#197) roared through Easts tail, taking 7-40 for A grade after a big 3rd wicket partnership looked like setting Waratahs a big total. Easts total of 232 was to no avail as the second week was washed out.

In 1985, GRAHAM JOHNSON (#207) made 112 for 2nd grade v Ex Services.

In 1991, MARTIN HADFIELD (#545-pictured) and BEDE RYAN (#503) added 153 for the 4th wicket for 3rd grade in getting first innings points over Uralla on the first day, after three early wickets. For Marty, it was hard luck, as he remained 88 not out at the end of play, only to have the second day washed out.

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.
