The 2013 season draws to a close as Glamorgan welcome Gloucestershire to the SWALEC Stadium on Tuesday, September 24th for the final LV=County Championship match of the summer (start time - 10.30 am).
Match Preview
The contest - which is scheduled to start at 10.30am - will see the two counties meeting up again after their match at Bristol back in early June which ended in a draw. That game saw Michael Hogan take 7/92 in Gloucestershire's first innings and the Australian bowler is now just one wicket away from rounding off his hugely successful first season with the Welsh county by claiming his 100th wicket in all cricket in 2013.
Glamorgan defeated Gloucestershire by 26 runs last summer at Swansea, which was the last time the West Country side were in Championship action in Wales. This was Glamorgan's third successive victory on Welsh soil against Gloucestershire, having won the game at Cardiff in 2011 by 189 runs as well as the contest at the SWALEC Stadium in 2010 by an innings and four runs.
Indeed, you have to go back to May 2005 for the last time Gloucestershire recorded a Championship victory at the Cardiff ground with Chris Taylor making 176 as his side recorded a seven-wicket win after Glamorgan had been forced to follow-on.
