1967 Chatham Cup

November 2016 July 2026 1967 Chatham Cup 2 September 1967 Basin Reserve, Wellington North Shore United (4th title) Christchurch City 1966 1968 The 1967 Chatham Cup was the 40th annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand. The competition was run on a regional basis, with 17 regional associations holding separate qualification rounds. The winners of each of these qualification tournaments, along with the second-placed team from Auckland, qualified for the competition proper. In all, 95 teams took part in the competition, 32 from the South Island and 63 from the North Island. Note: Different sources record different numbers for the rounds of this competition, with some confusion caused by differing numbers of rounds in regional qualification. The 1967 final North Shore United returned to the final, this time with former international Ken Armstrong as coach. In the final they met Christchurch City - soon to change its name to Christchurch United, a recently amalgamated team featuring players who had previously been with several strong southern sides, among them future internationals Terry Haydon and Tony Gowans. The game was an exciting one. The Christchurch side dominated for the entire first half, but a combination of missed chances, the woodwork, a disallowed goal, and heroics from Shore keeper Dennis Mack kept the first half scoreless. In the second spell, Billy Rimmer scored for the Aucklanders early but the lead was soon cancelled out by a strike from Haydon. A late penalty for City was missed by Gowans, and Shore made the most of their chance by stealing a late winner through Ian Campbell. pp. 74-5 Results Third round #eeeeee Blockhouse Bay 3 – 0 Lynndale (Auckland) #eeeeee Christchurch City 2 – 0 Christchurch Technical #eeeeee Dunedin HSOB 3 – 0 Caversham #eeeeee Eastern Union (Gisborne) 3 – 2 Riverina (Wairoa) #eeeeee Hamilton 5 – 1 Claudelands Rovers #eeeeee Hungaria (Wellington) 3 – 0 Johnson Villa (Wellington) #eeeeee Maori Hill (Dunedin) 2 – 1 Saint Kilda #eeeeee Miramar Rangers 2 – 1 Stop Out (Lower Hutt) #eeeeee Napier Rovers 6 – 2 Moturoa #eeeeee Nelson Thistle 2 – 2* Nelson Suburbs #eeeeee New Brighton 4 – 0 Christchurch HSOB #eeeeee Northern (Dunedin) 5 – 2 Mosgiel #eeeeee North Shore United 1 – 1† Mount Wellington #eeeeee Palmerston North Thistle 3 – 1 Kiwi United #eeeeee Petone 3 – 3¶ Western Suburbs FC (Wellington) #eeeeee Papatoetoe 6 – 1 Massey Rovers #eeeeee Queens Park (Invercargill) 6 – 0 Old Boys (Invercargill) #eeeeee Richmond Athletic 1 – 0 Nelson Rangers #eeeeee Roslyn-Wakari 2 – 1 Otago University #eeeeee Shirley-Nomads 2 – 1 Rangers (Christchurch) #eeeeee Waterside (Wellington) 5 – 2 Lower Hutt City #eeeeee Western (Christchurch) 7 – 0 Christchurch Celtic #eeeeee Western Suburbs FC (Wellington) 4 – 2 Wanganui East Athletic * Won by Suburbs on toss of coin † Won by North Shore on corners ¶ Won by Western Suburbs on corners Fourth round #eeeeee Christchurch City 7 – 2 Shirley-Nomads #eeeeee Dunedin HSOB 1 – 0 Maori Hill #eeeeee Eastern Union (Gisborne) 3 – 1 Blockhouse Bay #eeeeee Gore Wanderers 2 – 1 Queens Park #eeeeee Invercargill Thistle 3 – 2 Invercargill United #eeeeee Miramar Rangers 3 – 1 Hungaria #eeeeee Nelson Suburbs 1 – 0 Richmond Athletic #eeeeee New Brighton 2 – 0 Western #eeeeee Northern 4 – 0 Roslyn-Wakari #eeeeee North Shore United 2 – 1 Papatoetoe (soccer) #eeeeee Palmerston North Thistle 2 – 1 Napier Rovers #eeeeee Rotorua City 5 – 0 Hamilton #eeeeee Waterside (Wellington) 3 – 0 Petone #eeeeee Western Suburbs FC (Wellington) 12 – 1 Masterton Athletic #eeeeee Whangarei 8 – 0 Kamo Swifts Fifth round #eeeeee Christchurch City 2 – 1 New Brighton #eeeeee Eastern Union 2 – 0 Whangarei #eeeeee Invercargill Thistle 9 – 0 Gore Wanderers #eeeeee Miramar Rangers 1 – 0 Waterside (Wellington) #eeeeee Nelson Suburbs 2 – 3 (aet) Grosvenor Rovers (Marlborough) #eeeeee Northern 1 – 0 Dunedin HSOB #eeeeee North Shore United 3 – 2 Rotorua City #eeeeee Palmerston North Thistle 5 – 0 Western Suburbs FC (Wellington) Quarter-finals #eeeeee Christchurch City 12 – 1 Grosvenor Rovers #eeeeee Eastern Union 0 – 1 (aet) North Shore United #eeeeee Invercargill Thistle 3 – 2 Northern (Dunedin) #eeeeee Miramar Rangers 2 – 1 Palmerston North Thistle Semi-finals #eeeeee Invercargill Thistle 1 – 4 Christchurch City #eeeeee North Shore United 1 – 0 (aet)* Miramar Rangers * some sources give the result as 2–1 aet Final #eeeeee 2 September 1967 North Shore United 2 – 1 Christchurch City Rimmer, Campbell Haydon Basin Reserve, Wellington D.W.
