Glamorgan progressed to the fourth round of the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy with a comfortable 86 run victory over the Durham Cricket Board XI at Darlington.
The Welsh county, who were put in to bat by the Board captain, Marcus North, amassed 312-9 in their 50 over allocation with Ian Thomas making a career best 93 from 103 balls and Matthew Maynard adding yet another century to his tally with a typically majestic 115 from 86 balls.
The pair shared a third wicket stand of 135 which took the game well beyond the reach of the Durham side. Despite 59 from opener Allan Worthy, and 46 from the Australian North, the task of scoring in excess of six runs an over was never achieved, and the Board side were dismissed for 226 mid-way through the 48th over.
Robert Croft took three wickets and both Adrian Dale and Alex Wharf took two apiece as Glamorgan maintained their unbeaten record in limited over competitions this year.
