After batting first in the quarter-final, the Waratahs only managed to hit a disappointing 5-119, with Ahillen Beadle (39) and Tim Cruickshank (38) the only players to get starts. Dan Smith’s swashbuckling 61, which included...Read More

As usual the groundsmen for Manly and Grahame’s did a magnificent job, ensuring we had two great pitches, all things considering. In 2nd grade, Manly won the toss and had...Read More

The Waratah selectors have named the sides for the round 5 clash against the Campbelltown. It’s great to see local junior, Michael Visser, selected for his first 1st grade game. Mick has stepped up a level this year and has enjoyed a fantastic start to the year in 2nd grade. It was great to see...Read More
WE HAVE seen the Australian team come back from adversity during the week, but we had a great comeback of our own. Nick McLachlan has had a few challenges on the field so far this year, and by his own admission hasn’t been bowling as well as he can. He is one of our strike...Read More
MANLY have dropped out of the top six of the Sydney Grade competition following a poor batting display against Bankstown on Saturday. After winning the toss, the Waratahs were rolled for a paltry 79 at Bankstown Oval, with former NSW quick Aaron Bird snaring 5/19.

The Waratah’s returned to earth with a thud on the weekend, not securing any CC points against Mosman. We know the weekends were dissimilar in nature but that does not excuse our ordinary performance. No grades looked like having a win on saturday with 1st grade falling over 100 short, 2nds similar, 3rds 80 short,...Read More
