Glamorgan County Cricket Club
Glamorgan County Cricket Club () is one of eighteen first-class county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Glamorgan (). Founded in 1888, Glamorgan held minor status at first and was a prominent member of the early Minor Counties Championship before the First World War. In 1921, the club joined the County Championship and the team was elevated to first-class status, subsequently playing in every top-level domestic cricket competition in England and Wales.

After two wins to end the Twenty20 Cup, it was back to losing in the County Championship, going down to Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge for their eighth loss in nine games. In the National League, however, they jumped up to third place thanks to a five-wicket win over Worcestershire. However, they looked unlikely to advance further from that third place, as they went down to second-placed Middlesex at home in the National League, and Middlesex also defeated them in the County Championship encounter, as Glamorgan went down by an innings and 23 runs. They then achieved their second first-class draw of the season, in a three-day match with Bangladesh A where over half the match was lost to rain.
