Parnell And Shore

BOTH IN STRONG POSITIONS A.C.A. Cricket Prospects PARNELL and North Shore have the brightest chances of victory in the series of senior A.C.A. matches, which will be completed tomorrow.

Its batting has been in and out this season, but if it starts j off well, Eden will have its hands full.
