PRESENTATION CUP COMPETITION.
Y.M.C.A. v. Thistle.-This match was played on Saturday last at Wellington square, and resulted in a win for Y.M.C.A. by 2 goals to nil. Y.M.C.A. won the toss and elected to play against the sun and wind. Thistle pressed consistently during the early stages of the game, but were never really dangerous, the Y.M.C.A.'s defence being well in evidence. After the teams had settled down play was fairly even, Thistle, perhaps, being slightly the better and doing most of the attacking. Once, however, Y.M.C.A. had, from a breakaway by the left wing, a splendid chance of opening the scoring, but one of the forwards failed when well placed. Half-time arrived with no score. After the restart Y.M.C.A. practically monopolised the play, and it was not long in the second half before the scoring was opened, Rogers succeeding in netting after a good run and centre by Strickland. A few minutes later the same player scored again, the result of a good individual effort. Y.M.C.A., who played junior last season, thus made a very successful debut into senior circles. Rodgers, in the forward line, Pocklington, of the halves, and the backs and goalie were perhaps the best, although all played well.
RANGERS V. FREMANTLE. This game was played on the Esplanade on Saturday and resulted in the defeat of the League champions by 2 clear goals, the Fremantle side gripping the game from start to finish. After Browning had struck the crossbar with a smashing drive Nicol opened the scoring after 20 minutes' play, with a fine drive from 15 yards range, which struck the under part of the bar and bounced in. Bogle added the second, placing a corner so accurately that the custodian could only help it through. In the second half the Rangers did a bit better, but found the Fremantle defence far too good for them. The Port team worked up some fine combinations, and but for the sterling work of Sharp in goal and Dunlop at back must have scored on several occasions. For the Rangers, in addition to the players mentioned, Pearse at centre half, and Leonard and Fisher the wing halves were the pick. For Fremantle a word of praise is due to Cowlishaw, inside right, and Higham right half, although the whole team revealed much promise. Falconer at centre half made a very successful debut. Mr. Cameron refereed most efficiently.
