opened the cricket league season with a disappointing loss on Sunday.

But the Premier League champs will be hoping that history repeats itself as a year ago Rangers also lost their first league game before embarking on an unbeaten run which continued throughout the rest of the season and culminated with the league crown.

On Sunday, it was Police who humbled the Southampton club, bowling out their opponents for 116 and knocking off those runs for the loss of six wickets, for a four-wicket victory.

More runs: Kenneth Wainwright of Southampton Rangers steers this delivery through the off side during his innings of 11. Wainwright was dismissed soon after, caught by Ferdinand Thorne off the bowling of Freston Hurdle.

Missed it! Rangers batsman Ian Armstrong swings and misses as the ball goes through to Police wicketkeepr Andrew Rollins. Armstrong made just five before he was caught by Rollins off the bowling of Richard Austin.
