National Cricket League

Glamorgan versus Yorkshire

at Colwyn Bay

Sunday 24 August 2024

By Roy D Wilkinson


Yorkshire have only ever played one match at Colwyn Bay - in a John player League match in 1973. It was sandwiched between the first and second days of a first-class match versus Cambridge University at Cambridge, the Yorkshire players were therefore faced with two very long journeys in order to play eighty overs of cricket.

Geoffrey Boycott had made an unbeaten century on the Saturday at Fenner’s and he repeated the feat on the Sunday, making 104* in Yorkshire’s 186 for 5 wkts off their 40 overs.

Glamorgan were restricted to 162 for 6 wkts leaving Yorkshire the winners by 24 runs
and facing their trek back to Cambridge.

The match this Sunday will be the thirty-first in this competition between these two counties. Yorkshire have won fourteen and Glamorgan seventeen. In addition, two matches have been abandoned without a ball being bowled.
