Orders are currently being taken for the Glamorgan Yearbook for 2014 which will look back on an historic summer for the Club as the Welsh county celebrated it's 125th anniversary besides appearing at Lord's in their first one-day final at the St. John's Wood ground since 2000
2013 was an historic year for Glamorgan CCC as the Welsh county celebrated it's 125th anniversary besides appearing at Lord's in their first one-day final at the St. John's Wood ground since 2000. The Glamorgan Yearbook for 2014 will look back on the season with a series of special articles celebrating the Club's success in reaching the final of the Yorkshire Bank40 competition, as well as special features on Michael Hogan and Jim Allenby who each enjoyed standout summers.
With 2014 being the centenary of the start of the First World War, the Yearbook also looks back to the summer of 1914 as well as commemorating some of the Glamorgan cricketers who lost their lives whilst fighting for King and Country during the Great War. There will also be an article on the Normandy Landings, whose 70th anniversary will also occur in 2014, and the Yearbook will contain a special interview with Jim Pleass, a member of Glamorgan's side that won the County Championship title in 1948, and who was amongst the thousands of brave soldiers who went across the English Channel on D-Day in June 1944.
In addition, 2014 will be the 50th anniversary of Glamorgan's first-ever victory over the Australians at Swansea and the 2014 Yearbook will also contain a special feature looking back on the day in August 1964 when Glamorgan, under the captaincy of Ossie Wheatley, defeated the men in the baggy green caps.
As always, the Yearbook will also include scorecards of every game played by Glamorgan in 2013, as well as up-to-date statistics and records, plus full information about the Glamorgan 2nd XI, the Wales Minor Counties and the South Wales Premier League in which the Welsh county's players appear in club cricket.
