ON THIS DAY - 28th November and WARATAHS LEADING CATCHERS

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 28, 2023

In 1959, J BOUNDY (#118) took 4 wickets in one over for A-Res grade v Armidale Teachers College. The ATC top three had made a reasonable start of 1-55, with Tony Morriss claiming the only wicket. Boundy came into the attack and removed the other opener first ball and then with the last three balls of his first over, he bowled Alan Guan and had both F Howell and J Everingham lbw to secure his hat trick. ATC were all out for 127, Boundy taking 6-15. G BURGESS (#119) held 3 catches in the innings. Waratahs were in trouble themselves before stumps but the match was ruined by rain on the second day.

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.
