ON THIS DAY - 16th November

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 16, 2025

In 1957, ARTY SEE (#81) and JOHN McINTYRE (#99) added 104 unbeaten before declaring agianst an already embarassed Dumaresq. McIntyre had taken 4-14 in Dumaresq's paltry 48, earlier in the day.

In 1968, TOM COOKE (#197) took 7-40, after David Lawrie and M Fletcher had got Easts out of trouble with a 123 run partnership for the 3rd wicket. After Fletcher was run out, Cooke took six of the last seven wickets to fall as Easts were all out just 70 runs later. Rain on the second day denied Waratahs a reply.

In 1985, GRAHAM JOHNSON (#207) made 112 of 2nd grade's 248 on the first day v Ex Services, who used ten bowlers in the Waratahs innings.

The history of a proud club which grew men from boys through the simple act of trusting them with something very precious.

Favourite grounds: Wicklow Oval (Rologas Fields), Harris Park, West Armidale Park (Lambert Park), The Armidale Sportsground

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.
