During this time, he played a first-class cricket match for the Europeans against the Parsees at Bombay. Batting twice in the match, Monteath was dismissed without scoring in the European's first-innings by Kekhashru Mistry, and was dismissed by the same bowler for a single run in their second-innings. Fellow Irishman James McDonogh was also a member of the Europeans team.
