Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (This site's area field reads Greymouth (Reefton), which is misleading in the pattern flagged elsewhere on this site -- Reefton is a genuinely separate former gold-mining town roughly 80km from Greymouth, not a suburb. Both recorded matches' scores conflict with independent secondary sources: Wikipedia's accounts of the 1939 and 1940 New Zealand rugby league seasons give West Coast wins over Inangahua of 11-8 and 7-5 respectively, in each case for what appears to be the same Northern Union Cup fixture, against Rugby League Project's 14-0 and 23-5 scorelines. Neither source's figures are picked over the other; both are disclosed.) |

Reefton Racecourse, in the small former gold-mining town of Reefton on New Zealand's West Coast, hosted two Northern Union Cup defences by West Coast against Inangahua in 1939 and 1940, the scorelines for which are disputed between Rugby League Project and independent season summaries.
