In an unprecedented day of representative cricket, Hay as the current holders of the O'Farrell Cup and the Creet Cup, took on both challenges on Sunday, Wagga and respectively.

It was a tough day for both teams but a great testament to the strength of Hay cricket that it could field competitive teams in both competitions.

In what has been a long-anticipated comeback for the Hay Soccer Club, a senior side took the field on Jack Bisset Oval for the first time in recent years, and enjoyed a massive 6-2 win over Deniliquin.

“The best win of all time,” Hay cricketing legend David Davies.

As the O’Farrell cup celebrates 100 years in November, a result such as this has not been seen before, when Hay defeated the powerhouse Albury/Wodonga side.

David Davies, district cricketing and sports legend, who made his debut in the O’Farrell Cup in 1959, was at the Urana Road Oval to watch the game and his grandson Tom, who batted at number 3. David declared it the best win of all time.
