THE HARPER Miller Oval in Nief Mountain, south-east St. Elizabeth should be buzzing with non-stop action tomorrow as the NCB knockout cricket final will take centre stage.

With the likes of regional youth players Shane Powell, Donovan Sinclair, Ziggy Levy, David Powell, Marlon Johnson and Boris Hutchinson expecting to feature for Comma Pen, along with Bruce Black-wood, Gary Bromfield, Graham Bromfield, Damian Bryce and Jason Nelson in Ballards Valley's line-up, fireworks are expected.

Former national senior team player Orville Pennant, Troy Powell and Gary Graham are three other hard-hitting batsmen in Comma Pen's super line-up.

The winner of the final will walk away with the NCB Trophy and $100,000 while the beaten finalists will pocket $45,000.
