Malcolm Reilly trophy stays at Manly

The Malcolm Reilly Challenge Trophy will be proudly on display at Manly's headquarters at Brookvale for another year.

Named after Great Britain great Malcom Reilly,  Manly and Newcastle play for the annual trophy when they meet for the first time each season in honour of the man who made a big impact at both clubs.

The Sea Eagles retained the trophy on Sunday following their 44-6 victory over the Knights at 4 Pines Park in front of a sold out home crowd in round 19 of the Telstra Premiership.

Reilly played 89 games for Manly from 1971-75 and played in their premiership winning teams in 1972 and ’73.

He later coached Newcastle to their first premiership victory against Manly.

The trophy was first played for in 2007. Of the 18 matches played, Manly have won the trophy 11 times.
