HUTT V. RANGERS

At the Hutt Recreation Ground this' afternoon Hutt and Miramar Rangers met in the first round of the Victory Cup. The teams were:— Hutt.—Moyen; J. Butland, Moore; Rudolph, R. Butland, Murphy; Hally. McLellan, McSloy; Cross, Stotts. Miramar Rangers.—Tonks;. Verity, Coveny; Phillips, Taylor, Smith; D. Donoghue, J. Donoghue, • Hicks, Niven, Taylor. Referee: Mr. V. Wheeler. A strong j northerly wind mitigated against good football. Hutt kicked off against the wind, and for a period play fluctuated with the Reds showing more promise. Rangers scored after ten minutes' play, the ball trickling through from a\melee. Rangers 1, Hutt 0. A second one quickly followed, D. Donoghue scoring with a rocket shot. Rangers 2, Hutt 0. Hutt pressed strongly, showing a neat combination, often having Tonks on his toes. A penalty kick was awarded to Hutt for an infringement. Murphy took the kick and Tonks saved, but Murphy put the rebound beyond doubt. Rangers 2, Hutt 1. Hutt pressed for some time in the second half, but lack of judgment in their shooting and a dogged defence by Rangers prevented their going ahead. ' However, scores were levelled when Stotts headed through following a cross from Hally. Rangers 2, Hutt 2. Before the final whistle Hutt scored the winning goal, McSloy doing the necessary from a pass by Murphy. Hutt 3, Rangers 2.
