FROM KILNHURST HERITAGE...
​
Just three seasons after the stoppage for WW1 Kilnhurst again featured in the Montagu Cup.
In the Semi finals, Kilnhurst W.M.C. (now styled as Kilnhurst Working Mens Club) beat Rawmarsh Athletic 5-2 and Sandhill Juniors beat Swinton D.S. & S (discharged soldiers and sailors) 1 -0 to take the other final place.
This final appears to be unique, as it shows the victorious Kilnhurst team with the Montagu Cup no previous or subsequent photos would appear to exist.
There are two photographs, the first shows the team and the second shows the team surrounded by supporters, both taken in Dr Aikens garden at the top of Victoria Street.
Dr Aiken was a long serving and much liked Kilnhurst Doctor (and football supporter) from the 1920’s to the 1950’s.
This was the twenty third playing of the Montagu Cup and people and seemed to haver lost none of their enthusiasm for this prestigious trophy.
The final took place on Easter Tuesday at Mexborough town’s Hamden Road Ground.
