Walter Taylor and Dad opened the batting for Uralla in the Armidale competition before our family moved to Armidale and Dad started playing with St Peters.

From about 1958 and for many years they formed a formidable opening partnership and once shared a partnership of 305 against Waratahs on 27 January 1962. Dad’s 23rd birthday. Walter was 44.

Walter Taylor, a grazier from Kentucky, is considered one of the finest ever batsman from Northern NSW. He represented Armidale, Northern Tablelands and Northern NSW for many decades.

In 1939 he toured Tasmania with the Northern NSW team and in 1958 played for New England against a NSW touring team that included Richie Benaud.
