Two remarkable Premiership victories on this day.
In 1972, A grade won comprehensively against Unicorns and put to bed the bogey which had seen them lose four out of the previous five Finals and a wait of 19 years since their previous Premiership. For once, the batting fired and then one of Waratahs strongest ever bowling attacks - Tom Cooke, Terry Mackenzie, Brian Joyce and John Donnelly - easily accounted for the University men.
In 1995, 4th grade rolled Norths reasonably cheaply after the same side had blitzed them in the semi. Joe Cairns took a career best 7-48. Waratahs were in trouble in reply until wicketkeeper Scott Murphy came out and thrashed the bowling, making the best century made in any Waratahs Final.
