1949 Colville Vs Kennedy Bay Denize Cup
Article posted by: H Mareroa
A very popular and fully deserved victory was secured by the Colville Rugby team when at Coromandel last Saturday it succeeded in defeating Kennedy Bay by 11 points to 3 in the Denize Cup competition.
From the very start of the game the Colville forwards took charge and held the superiority throughout the match. Wishnowsky opened the score with a penalty goal which was followed by a try by McDonald. The try was converted and at half-time the score stood at Colville 8, Kennedy Bay 0.
Colville continued to press and a further try was secured. Kennedy Bay made every effort to penetrate the Colville defence but it was not until late in the game that B. Potae scored for the Bay.
The game ended Colville 11, Kennedy Bay 3.
Mr Rivers was the referee.
