Area Trial
North v Midlands
New coach JOHN BURGESS , along with his fellow selectors, are endeavouring to find the right formula to take England to the top of the 1975 Championship.
The abilities and skills of the first-class players all over the country cannot be denied. Last year more than three-quarters of the National side came from the North and Midlands, but the competition this afternoon, to remain in favour or gain favour, is bound to be keen.
