PULSATING cricket action is anticipated tomorrow between defending champions Better Hope and hosts Buxton ‘Carl Hooper’ Cricket Club in the final of the East Coast Cricket Board (ECCB)-sponsored Elizabeth Styles 40 overs competition.
Better Hope, who played undefeated throughout the tournament, will be looking to once again lift the prestigious trophy while Buxton will hope to take home advantage to the maximum.
