Glamorgan clinched the Division Two title in the Norwich Union
League despite not being in action in the competition today.
Durham`s victory today, over Worcestershire by 9 runs under the
Duckworth Lewis system, has put pay to Worcestershire`s aspirations of
winning the Division Two title.
As the table below shows, Glamorgan now have an unassailable lead at
the top of the table over Durham who have now completed their games for the
season. Worcestershire can only gain a maximum of 40 points if they
defeat Essex next week at New Road. If they do so, this will also
clinch promotion for Worcestershire, but an Essex victory would mean that
Hampshire and Sussex also enter the equation for the final promotion place.
P W Pts Run Rate
1st Glamorgan 15 10 44 +15.18
2nd Durham 16 9 42 + 1.74
3rd Worcs 15 8 36 + 7.24
4th Hampshire 15 8 34 + 2.90
5th Sussex 15 8 34 + 1.44
Ironically, news of Glamorgan`s victory in Division Two of the National League
competition came several hours after the Welsh county had gone down to a
10 wicket defeat to Leicestershire which has virtually ended Glamorgan`s hopes
of remaining in Division One of the County Championship.
