RECORD BREAKING DAY

By Brian Sanderson,

To-day myself,Ron Stansfield and Bob Procter set out down the M1.The ground was Lutterworth which is just about a mile from junction 20.

Leicester seconds were playing Glamorgan in a three day match.Glamorgan batted first and found themselfs 138 for 9 after lunch.The two batsmen in were Adam John Shantry who has played second eleven for 10 seasons. and John Charles Glover who had played second team cricket for two years. His highest score was 36 against Surrey.

There was a delay for rain for about 30 minutes.Then the records started to fall.
Glover passed his highest score.They passed the previous highest ten wicket partnership of Glamorgan of 113. This had been held my A.P.Davies and A.J.Davies made in 2000.

Then they broke the Second Eleven highest tenth wicket partnership of 166. This was held by O.J.Newby and G.Yates in 2004.

Then Glover reached his century.He shown some excellent cover drives.

Glamorgan declared at 326 for 9 leaving the record partnership at 188.I hoped they could reach 200 but not to be.

Excellent days cricket with friendly spectators and a picturesque ground.
