1946 Montgomery Cup

The principal rugby attraction on the Coromandel Domain on Saturday was Coromandel versus Kennedy’s Bay in the knock-out challenge round for the Montgomery Shield.

Kennedy’s Bay fielded the strongest team this year and snatched a last minute victory from Coromandel by nine points to eight. G. Thwaites was playing for the first time for several weeks for the Bay and in the second half the spectators were treated to some fine back play and in and out passing by him and Colin Flavell who turned out for the first time this season.

The score at half time was Bay 3 Coromandel nil, made up of an unconverted try by Potae.

After the interval Syddalls and Ngapo scored for Coromandel and Ngapo converted his own try with a very fine kick from a difficult angle while Herring scored an unconverted try. On the call of time G. Thwaites kicked a penalty goal for Kennedy’s Bay.

Mr V. Keefe was the referee.
