Percy Hutton

William Frederick Percy Hutton, known as Percy Hutton, was an Australian cricketer, golfer and lawn bowler, born at Mintaro in South Australia on 2 October 1876. A wicket-keeper who played district cricket for Sturt, he appeared in a single first-class match, for South Australia against New South Wales at the Adelaide Oval in December 1905 during the Sheffield Shield season. He made 22 not out in the first innings but was struck by a fast ball while keeping wicket and had to leave the field for part of the game. Later in life he won local golf and lawn bowls tournaments and, with Howard Mildren, took the men's pairs title at the 1938 Australian bowls championships in Sydney. Away from sport he worked as a wheat salesman and grain broker, served on the City of Unley council from 1932 to 1939, and later supervised the Australian Wheat Board in South Australia. He died at Millswood in October 1951.
