There were some stunning performances over 40 years by Waratahs in Semi and Preliminary Finals on the 22nd March. In 1959, Nigel Richardson (5-43) bowled the Minor Premiers Hillgrove out for 99 before his batsmen failed. In 1981, Waratahs had four sides in the semis: 1st scraped home against Hillgrove thanks to Michael Connolly carrying his bat; both sides in A-Res grade won through to an all Waratahs Final; and B grade lost despite John Williamson's bowling (6-34). In 1987, Brian Rhodes made a classic hundred for 1sts to win and 5th almost won outright. In 1992, Danny Ryan's bowling (6-16) wasn't enough for 1sts to beat Easts but in 1998, Gavin Finlayson in 3rds and Lindsay McIntyre in 4ths dominated Waratahs victories.
