Glamorgan remain on top of NUL Division One

Glamorgan remain on top of Division One of the Norwich Union League after this week`s latest round of games.

The Welsh county`s thrilling three wicket win last Wednesday under the floodlights at Chester-le-Street saw them go to top of the table, and also improve their net run rate. Then on Sunday, Yorkshire`s 5 wicket defeat by Leicestershire has also dented their challenge for the title.

With five games to play, Glamorgan have an all-important 2 point lead over Worcestershire, and an 8 point lead over Kent, Warwickshire, Yorkshire and Leicestershire.

"Every game from now is going to be a massive one, "said coach John Derrick, "but all of the other sides in contention also have to play each other and this could work in our favour."

Glamorgan captain Steve James also believes that it`s too early to talk about winning the title. "There are still five games to go and that's quite a long way really. It's an old cliche, but we are going to take it one game at a time. But we are a confident side, and are playing pretty well at the moment. The big thing is that we are winning games."

Glamorgan`s next match in the League is against Nottinghamshire at Colwyn Bay, starting at 1.00pm on Bank Holiday Monday, 26th August. Glamorgan Members will be admitted free of charge, while the admission price for non-members is : £12 for adults and £6 for juniors (16 or under) and senior citizens. Tickets can be purchased on the gate on the day, and with a large crowd is expected. There will also be a complete ban on alcohol being brought into the ground.
