Another rule included in the recent amendments from Britain stipulated that, "all free kicks to the defending side in the penalty area must be taken in a forward direction, and the ball must not be played until it has traveled beyond the box".Kick Corner 5 May 1938 Association Football 4 Otago Daily Times https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/ODT19380505.2.13.3 15 August 2023 The 1938 final The final was played in soggy conditions to which Mosgiel found it difficult to adapt. Despite playing with the breeze in the first half, the southerners were 1-0 down after just six minutes through a goal from Sonny Ward. Shortly after the half-time break Tom Walker doubled the lead, and a third was added by Toby Janes at the hour mark after a pass from Ward. Walker completed the scoring with a tap-in late on in the second half. pp. 69-70 The fifth Governor-General of New Zealand, George Monckton-Arundell, 8th Viscount Galway, presented the trophy to Waterside after the match.1 December 2021 Waterside's Chatham Cup Win https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19380905.2.34 live Papers Past https://web.archive.org/web/20211130222719/https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19380905.2.34 30 November 2021 Results 16 July 1938 Waterside 2 - 1 https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19380718.2.163.3 Seatoun Basin Reserve Mr. J.
