ON THIS DAY - 10th March
In 1962, LAURIE BLAKE (#126) did the hat trick for A-Res grade v Hillgrove, in the course of capturing the remarkable figures of 6-2. In order to try and engineer the outright they need to qualify for the semis, Waratahs declared behind on the first innings, to no eventual avail.
