ON THIS DAY - 10th March

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | March 10, 2024

In 1962, LAURIE BLAKE (#126) did the hat trick for A-Res grade v Hillgrove, in the course of capturing the remarkable figures of 6-2. In order to try and engineer the outright they need to qualify for the semis, Waratahs declared behind on the first innings, to no eventual avail.

In 1973, BOB BARWICK (#234) and DAVID LYNCH (#249) added 117 for the 4th wicket for A-Res grade v Easts.


In 1984, PETER LANGSTON (#357) made the highest ever score in 3rd grade, with 164 v the minor premiers, St Peters. In the process, he shared partnerships of 126 with DANNY BROWN (#404) for the 3rd wicket and 107 with ROGER HAY (#427) for the 4th. To cap the afternoon off, he was the first man out in a Steve Ross hat trick!

In 1990, it was all action, with highlights from all five grades. In 1st grade, PHIL MELVILLE (#542) took 9-14 v Uralla, the best bowling figures in that grade.

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.
