Pakistan A Players Give The Thumbs Up on Their Arrival

The gloomy weather conditions couldn't put a dampener on the Club's big day, as 1st Class cricket returned to Newport for the first time for 25 years, with the Glamorgan v Yorkshire Refuge Assurance Sunday League match at Rodney Parade, being the last 1st Class encounter in 1990.

The club had prepared well for the return, but visions of the abandoned 1990 encounter resurfaced, as a dismal rainy start greeted the players on both sides. A quick 'mopping up operation' and a 15 minute delayed start soon saw play get under way.

Glamorgan were well beaten thanks mainly to a fine century by Pakistan 'A' captain Baber Azam, but it was the occasion that took centre stage. Everyone was full of glowing praise for the wicket and ground and hopefully further matches will follow in future.
