ON THIS DAY - 9th November
Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 06, 2024
In 1963, GEOFF MARSHALL (#156) made the highest score by any Waratahs player in A-Res/2nd grade, when he made 176 v Armidale High School, as Waratahs ran up 7-349. A lack of detailed scoresheet probably robs him and Bob Brennan - who made 89 - from having a large partnership recognised.
AHS 103 (Geoff Marshall 4-50, W Porter 3-22) and 3-161 (Peter Barrett 3-23) lost to Waratahs 7(dec)349 (Geoff Marshall 176, Bob Brennan 89, Hugh Ferris 37) by 246 runs.
In B grade, BRIAN BARRETT (#117) took 10-30 (5-18 & 5-12) as Waratahs hammered Hillgrove in a low scoring match. He combined with Dick Russell (4-9) to roll the 'grovers for just 24 in their second innings.
Waratahs 62 and 147 (Bill Nixon 22, Brian Barrett 22) beat Hillgrove 73 (Brian Barrett 5-18, Dick Russell 3-23) and 24 (Brian Barrett 5-12, Dick Russell 4-9) outright by 112 runs.
In 1996, wicketkeeper PHIL REES (#636) held 3 catches in an innings for 4th grade v Norths.
In 2002, PHIL ALLEN (#625) made the only century of his 6 seasons with Waratahs, during which he made 1,156 runs and and took 68 wickets with his off spinners. His 102 was made for 3rd grade v TAS.
