Glamorgan 2nd XI posted 690 against Leicestershire II's 446 in the Second Eleven Championship on Monday. By then the hosts had already set a challenging target, but the visitors' batting lineup proved too strong. The match ended with Glamorgan winning by 244 runs, a substantial margin that reflects their dominance throughout the game.
Here's the thing - the standings tell you everything. Leicestershire II sit fifth with just one loss and 42 points, while Glamorgan 2nd XI occupy third place with a perfect record and 53 points. The gap between them matters more than the individual games.
Leicestershire II's recent form shows they've been competitive but inconsistent. Their last outing against Hampshire II saw them fall short at 376 for 549, though they had earlier victories against Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
Glamorgan 2nd XI came into this match with momentum. They'd comfortably beaten Essex 2nd XI 523 to 264 in their previous fixture, and while they'd lost to Somerset earlier in the season, this win puts them in a strong position.
The points difference of 11 remains the story here. One team starts the season with a win, the other with a defeat - that's what separates them at this stage.
