In what was, by contemporary reports, an exciting game, Petone had the advantage of the wind at their backs in squally conditions, scoring the only goal of the first half through Dave Craig. In the second half, rain added to the wind to make conditions treacherous. Clarrie Falloon equalised for Western, and then thought they had taken the lead, only to have their second shot ruled out by referee A.E. Caisley. J. Dodds grabbed the winner with only a handful of minutes remaining, and Petone lifted the trophy for the second time, the first team to do so. p. 69 Results Quarter-finals #eeeeee 19 July 1930 Western 3 – 2 https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TS19300719.2.107 Christchurch Thistle C.
