PAROA WINS FINAL LOW SCORING MATCH In the final for the Clarke Cup played last week-end, Paroa defeated P. and T. by 79 runs to 66. iP. and T. batted first and only one player reall3' settled down, that being Jackson, who scored 20 of tfae total. Had the attack of P. and T. been as strong at both ends as at that Chard was bowling the result may have been different, the skipper taking 4 wickets for 8 runs. However, a i>artnership„ between Coutts and Goile saved the day. Details were as follows:— P. and T.
