ON THIS DAY - 6th November

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 05, 2024

In 1971, A-Res grade made their lowest team total, 26 v Drummond College, with Waratahs winning outright IN A ONE DAY game! The full scoresheet isn't available but it must have been a diabolical wicket, judging by even the short scores.

Waratahs 64 (Bob Barwick 32x) and 26; Drummond 36 & 46 (R Hood 6-12, John Russell 3-31)


In 1993, TONY JOHNSON (#712) and MARK TANNER (#573) added a grade record 107 unbeaten for the 8th wicket as 1st grade chased down Easts 287. Waratahs were gone for all money at 7-186 when Tanner came to the wicket and let loose with a blistering 79 not out, in a match winning performance.

In 4th grade, LACHLAN BENNETT (#587-pictured) and MATT GRIFFITH (#717) added 152 for the 4th wicket in a huge attempt to chase Hillgrove's 348. Bennett's 134 was his only Waratahs hundred and came after Griffith came to the wicket at 4-59. Waratahs made it to 293, one of the highest losing totals in club history.

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.
