ON THIS DAY - 9th March

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | March 09, 2024

In 1957, MAX NIXON (#88) equalled a club record he would rather had avoided - the most ducks in a season. His 8 equalled John Dickson during the same season and he would again equal it three seasons later!

Waratahs - Most Ducks in a Season


In 1963, KEITH McINTYRE (#129) and IAN STEWART (#169) added 131 unbeaten for the 3rd wicket for A grade v Uralla. This was the season Waratahs fielded two A grade side, after A-Res was promoted to fill a gap in the draw when one of the two University sides dropped out. For both players, it was their highest A grade score.

In 1968, GRED RUSSELL (#131) held 3 catches in an innings for A grade v Churches, all from Tom Cooke. BRUCE KELLAWAY (#213) went onto the Best Match Performance list with 82 and 5-20, as Churches collapsed twice on the second afternoon to give Waratahs an innings victory.

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

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.
