South Canterbury wins Ranfurly Shield, 1974

Marlborough versus South Canterbury, 17 August 1974.

'It's ours!' South Canterbury skipper, Ken Milne, hoists the Ranfurly Shield aloft after they beat Marlborough 18-6 at Blenheim. The defeat ended Marlborough's 13-month run as shield holders which had begun with a shock victory over Canterbury in July 1973.
