The 1963 Chatham Cup was the 36th annual nationwide knockout football competition in New Zealand.
It is known that unfancied side Otematata, from Otago's Maniototo district caused a surprise by reaching the last 16 stage.
They easily accounted for the Christchurch team of Nomads in the final, and with the exception of the tail-end of the first half dominated the match.
McNicholl (some sources say Oden) added a third and North Shore coasted for the remainder of the match, allowing Nomads' Robin Muirson to gain a consolation goal for the southerners.
[1][2] Note: Some sources, such as Hilton (1991), give North Shore's goalscorers as Oden 2, Maynard.
