Arthur Kay (rugby league)

[1] Kay represented Auckland and was first selected to play for New Zealand in 1935.

[citation needed] In 1944 Kay coached the Ponsonby side but midseason due to the team struggling somewhat he came out of retirement and was a key part of them winning the majority of their remaining games including 3 Roope Rooster matches to claim the knockout trophy before a loss to City in the Stormont Shield championship match.

[citation needed] In 1951 Kay coached the Point Chevalier senior side.

They finished the championship with a 6 win, 8 loss record but then in the Roope Rooster they beat Richmond 9-8, Ponsonby 12-3, and Northcote in the final 8-6.

This fortnight gave Point Chevalier their first two major titles in Auckland Rugby League.
