Glamorgan Maintain Perfect Start with 32-Run Victory Over Essex in Metro Bank One-Day Cup
Glamorgan continued their unbeaten run in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, defeating Essex by 32 runs at Chelmsford. Young seamer Ben Morris was the star of the show, taking 3 for 52 to help Glamorgan defend their total of 283.
Batting first, Glamorgan were led by a solid 89 from Sam Northeast, who shared important partnerships with Billy Root (74) and Asa Tribe (71). Jamal Richards and Shane Snater bowled well for Essex, each taking three wickets.
“The young seamer Morris was the pick of the Glamorgan bowlers, complementing the experienced Jamie McIlroy, who finished with 3 for 33.”

Tom Westley top-scored with a 51-ball 51, but the home side ultimately fell short, bowled out for 251.
The result maintains Glamorgan’s perfect start to the 100-ball cricket live season, as they continue to impress in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup. The club cricket fans will be excited to see the team’s continued progress, with their fantasy club cricket potential on the rise.
