A healthy crowd of over 1,500 came down to Sophia Gardens for Glamorgan's important 50-over match versus Yorkshire, in that a home vistory would all but assure a semi-final at the same venue on the following Sunday.
After a drizzly start, the visitors unsurprisingly inserted Glamorgan and quickly made inroads, leaving the Daffodil county struggling at 40/3 and 143/7 but some spirited resistance from Billy Root with 66 and 34 not out from Timm van der Gugten rallied the home side to 230/9 from the reduced 47 overs.
In reply, Yorkshire were quickly reeling at 11/3, but rebuilt mainly through Johnny Tattersall with 51. Glamorgan were able to squeeze in the middle overs with some excellent bowling and energetic fielding. Andy Gorvin took 4/35 and ambidextrous spinner Ben Kellaway 3/33.
