1989 Chatham Cup

November 2016 July 2026 1989 Chatham Cup 17 September 1989 Newtown Park, Wellington Christchurch United (5th title) Rotorua City Jack Batty Memorial Cup Mike McGarry (Christchurch United) 1988 1990 The 1989 Chatham Cup was the 62nd annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand. Up to the last 16 of the competition, the cup was run in three regions (northern, central, and southern). National League teams received a bye until the final 64 stage. In all, 153 teams took part in the competition, outstripping the previous year's record of 147. The 1989 final From this year, the final reverted to a single game, rather than a two-legged tie as had been the case for the previous three years' competitions. The final was very one-sided, with Christchurch United equalling the record of seven goals set by Seatoun in 1958. The aggregate of eight goals in the final also equalled the competition record. Mike McGarry became the tenth player to score a Chatham Cup final hat-trick, the first since Graham Dacombe's four goals - also for Christchurch United - in 1972. Christchurch United's Johan Verweij became the first player to score in three successive Chatham Cup finals. Steve Sumner also entered the record books by being the first player to pick up a sixth cup-winner's medal. The match went according to the form-book. Despite their fairy-tale run to the final, northern league side Rotorua City were no match for the previous year's national league champions. City keeper Dave Harris had a busy day, and despite making several good saves it was 5–0 by the half-time break, with goals from Keith Braithwaite, McGarry (twice), Verweij, and Laurence Fitzpatrick. In the second spell Steve Sumner added his name to the scorebook before McGarry completed his hat-trick. A Shane Zohs penalty in the 80th minute was a mere consolation for a Rotorua side well beaten. p.81 The Jack Batty Memorial Trophy for player of the final was awarded to Mike McGarry of Christchurch United. p. 177 Results Third round #eeeeee Blockhouse Bay 2 – 4 East Coast Bays #eeeeee Burndale United (Christchurch) 2 – 0 Canterbury University #eeeeee Christchurch United 10 – 1 Grants Braes (Dunedin) #eeeeee Dunedin City 6 – 0 Cashmere Wanderers #eeeeee Eden (Auckland) 0 – 4 Mount Wellington #eeeeee Gisborne City 4 – 1 Manawatu United (Palmerston N.) #eeeeee Havelock North Wanderers 11 – 1 Palmerston North End #eeeeee Howick 4 – 1 Birkenhead United #eeeeee Huntly Thistle 2 – 1 Waikato Unicol #eeeeee Levin United 3 – 2 Raumati Hearts #eeeeee Manurewa 1 – 3 Mount Roskill #eeeeee Massey 12 – 1 Whakatane Town #eeeeee Massey University 6 – 5 Gisborne Thistle #eeeeee Miramar Rangers 2 – 1 Napier City Rovers #eeeeee Mount Albert-Ponsonby 1 – 0 Waikato United #eeeeee Mount Maunganui 4 – 0 North Shore United #eeeeee Naenae 1 – 7 Waterside Karori (Wellington) #eeeeee New Plymouth Old Boys 2 – 0 Tawa #eeeeee North End United (Dunedin) 3 – 1 Green Island #eeeeee Oratia United 3 – 0 Ellerslie #eeeeee Papatoetoe 2 – 1 West Auckland #eeeeee Petone 2 – 4 Wellington Olympic #eeeeee Porirua Viard United 1 – 1 (aet)* Nelson United #eeeeee Rangiora 1 – 0 Gore Wanderers #eeeeee South Auckland Rangers 1 – 4 Rotorua City #eeeeee Waihopai (Invercargill) 2 – 2 (aet)* Roslyn-Wakari #eeeeee Waitakere City 1 – 0 Manukau City #eeeeee Wanganui East Athletic 0 – 1 Hutt Valley United #eeeeee Wellington United 7 – 0 Island Bay United #eeeeee Western (Christchurch) 3 – 1 South Canterbury United (Timaru) #eeeeee Western Rangers (Hastings) 2 – 6 Stop Out (Lower Hutt) #eeeeee Woolston WMC 2 – 0 Shamrock (Christchurch) * Won on penalties by Porirua (5–3) and Roslyn-Wakari (5–4) Fourth round #eeeeee Burndale United 1 – 0 Rangiora #eeeeee Christchurch United 6 – 0 Roslyn-Wakari #eeeeee Dunedin City 4 – 0 North End United #eeeeee East Coast Bays 2 – 3 Oratia United #eeeeee Howick 3 – 2 Papatoetoe #eeeeee Huntly Thistle 0 – 6 Waitakere City #eeeeee Massey 2 – 3 Rotorua City #eeeeee Massey University 0 – 2 Porirua Viard United #eeeeee Miramar Rangers 8 – 0 Levin United #eeeeee Mount Roskill 2 – 3 Mount Maunganui #eeeeee Mount Wellington 1 – 0 Mount Albert-Ponsonby #eeeeee New Plymouth Old Boys 2 – 1 Havelock North Wanderers #eeeeee Stop Out 1 – 2 Wellington Olympic #eeeeee Waterside Karori 2 – 1 Hutt Valley United #eeeeee Wellington United 2 – 1 Gisborne City #eeeeee Woolston WMC 4 – 4 (aet)* Western * Won on penalties by Woolston (4–1) Fifth round #eeeeee Dunedin City 0 – 3 Christchurch United #eeeeee Mount Maunganui 3 – 2 Howick #eeeeee Mount Wellington 1 – 2 Waitakere City #eeeeee New Plymouth Old Boys 2 – 1 Wellington Olympic #eeeeee Oratia United 1 – 2 Rotorua City #eeeeee Porirua Viard United 2 – 0 Miramar Rangers #eeeeee Wellington United 0 – 1 Waterside Karori #eeeeee Woolston W.M.C. 0 – 2 Burndale United Sixth Round #eeeeee Christchurch United 2 – 0 Waterside Karori #eeeeee Mount Maunganui 6 – 0 Porirua Viard United #eeeeee New Plymouth Old Boys 3 – 4 Rotorua City #eeeeee Waitakere City 5 – 0 Burndale United Semi-finals #eeeeee Christchurch United 2 – 1 Waitakere City #eeeeee Rotorua City 2 – 0 Mount Maunganui Final #eeeeee 17 September 1989 Christchurch United 7 – 1 Rotorua City McGarry 3, Braithwaite, Verweij, Fitzpatrick, Sumner Zohs (pen.)
