Worcestershire are Glamorgan's next opponents in the LV=County Championship, with the West Midlands side meeting the Welsh county in the four-day encounter starting at the SWALEC Stadium at 11am on Wednesday, April 17th.

Worcestershire were relegated last season from Division One, having won promotion two years before in 2010. However, Glamorgan were victorious the last time the two sides met in the Championship, with the Welsh county winning by nine wickets at New Road and by 241 runs at Colwyn Bay.

The last time the two sides met at Cardiff for a Championship encounter was in September 2008, but the weather played a major role, washing out play on all four days of the encounter.

You have to go back to 1991 for the last Worcestershire victory at Cardiff - a contest which the visitor's won by ten wickets thanks to a fine 186 from opening batsman Tim Curtis, plus a decent bowling performance by the visiting seam bowlers which forced Glamorgan to follow-on. Then it was the spinners who enjoyed themselves on the Sophia Gardens wickets, with Graeme Hick taking 5/42 with his off-spin. But you have to go back even longer - forty two years to be precise - for Glamorgan's last Championship victory over Worcestershire at Cardiff, with Tony Lewis' team of 1971 winning by an innings and 46 runs.
