THE TAHS TEST - The Ashes Editions

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | November 19, 2025

ANNOUNCING THE TAHS TEST - A CRICKET QUIZ FOR THE ASHES SUMMER


The Tahs, formerly Waratahs Cricket Club of Armidale, is a non-playing social club which is non gender specific, formed by former players in order to fulfill two main objecticves:

1. support the wellbeing of its members through: (i) providing opportunities for members to gather, be that in-person or via electronic or other means of communication, in real-time or asynchronously, (ii) maintaining and communicating the Club’s history as well as information on individuals associated with the Club throughout that history, and (iii) communicating information on the association, its activities and members, and

2. support the development of cricket in Armidale, New South Wales and surrounding districts, through the establishment of the Ian Campbell Scholarship Fund to support the attendance of local cricketers, who are 16 years of age or less, in a cricket training and/or development program.


We are an inclusive club which contains formers members of Waratahs, their families and many opposition players who have embraced the aims of the club. We have generated a membership of 85 in just eighteen months of operation and those members contribute through donations to raise money for the ICS. Our first scholarship winner, Brooke Moran, was supported in transport and accommodation and attended training with Manly Warringah District Cricket Club - also the Waratahs - and has been accepted into their pathways program. A burgening partnership is being developed such that the two clubs can continue to offer opportunities to country kids.

During the Ashes Tests this summer, we are going to conduct daily quizzes for the wider cricket community, published with the support of Cric Connect and the multi faceted BeaconPoint Club, who we maintain an affiliation with. We won't be playing for sheep stations, just for the higher stakes of personal pride! We hope in joining in you can get to know us a little better and maybe look us up at our website www.thetahs.com.au or visit our social media page at Waratahs Cricket Club of Armidale - The Tahs Inc.


Good luck with the quiz each day!

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

Favourite players: Life members: Alan Gray, Harry Deiderick, Graham Johnson, Ian Campbell, Syd Philp, Graham Patterson, Albert Hofkamp & Peter Langston.

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.
