bailey's bay field but the fans will find room they always have and they will again tomorrow stands from what we can judge t»ailey's bay are th over-all favourites to meet in the final once more they are a tough team as tough as the cleveland county side so we should see a very good day of cricket but iu the final analysis it must be said that cleveland has the better slow bowlers their left arm
