In 1960, wicketkeeper RAY ROSE (#58) held 3 catches in an innings for A-Res grade v Easts.

In 1983, TIM MULDOON (#296) and CARL BRIDGE (#452) added 133 for the 3rd wicket for 1st grade v Ex Services.

In 1988, ROGER ROAN (#176) and IAN CAMPBELL (#212) added a 4th grade record 86 unbeaten for the 8th wicket v Easts. I was another rescue mission from a bad position that these two veterans specialised in. They came together at 7-75 and at least gave their side a fighting chance.

In 2nd, MICHAEL JONES (#571) and MARTIN CAMPBELL (#490) added 105 unbeaten as Waratahs cruised to a 10 wicket victory over Easts.

The history of a proud club which grew men from boys through the simple act of trusting them with something very precious.

Favourite players: Life members: Alan Gray, Harry Deiderick, Graham Johnson, Ian Campbell, Syd Philp, Graham Patterson & Albert Hofkamp.

Favourite grounds: Wicklow Oval (Rologas Fields), Harris Park, West Armidale Park (Lambert Park), The Armidale Sportsground

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.
