1927/28 season Kilnhurst Athletic went out in the semi final of the Montagu Cup for the fifth time in six years, losing three one to Roman Terrace.  The Kilnhurst team in this match  was as follows. RUSSELL CHESTER                     GILLIVER JACOBS               HEWITTSON                  TAYLOR DYSON      FRITH            HARVEY      C TAYLOR       HOYLE By the 1930’s Kilnhurst were fielding three different teams.  Kilnhurst Athletic Kilnhurst O B. and Kilnhurst Wanderers. This must have weakened them.  Kilnhurst Athletic were still playing in the Mexborough Association League but made little impression on the Montagu Cup again until after the Second World War.
