ON THIS DAY - 10th March

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | March 10, 2026

In 1984, PETER LANGSTON (#357) returned after a two year absence and made 164 for last placed 3rd grade against Minor Premiers St Peters. During the innings,he added 126 with DANNY BROWN (#404) for the 3rd wicket and 107 with ROGER HAY (#427) for the 4th and was then the first player out in a hat trick! By that stage, Waratahs had passed the Saints who had confidently declared with an hour to go on the first day. It was 3rds only win of the season and Lango's ton the highest ever made in 3rd grade.
