Glamorgan CCC is Wales' sole representative in the world of county
cricket. Formed in 1888, the Club at first faced some difficult
years before joining the Minor County Championship in 1897. After a
series of successful summers, they were admitted into the
first-class game in 1921 but this initially proved a massive step
for the Cardiff-based club to take, as defeats became more
commonplace than victories. However, after overcoming financial
uncertainties in the 1930s, and the loss of their influential
captain, Maurice Turnbull, during the Second World War, Glamorgan
won the County Championship title in 1948 under Wilf Wooller
besides providing a series of players for England teams. The good
times continued in the 1960s when they defeated the Australians on
back-to-back tours, and lifted the County Championship title again
in 1969 under Tony Lewis. Further silverware came Glamorgan's way
during the 1990s as they won the Sunday League in 1993 before
Matthew Maynard led them to a third Championship in 1997. During
the 2000s, the Welsh side lifted the one-day title again in 2002
and 2004, before embarking on a successful stadium development
scheme at their headquarters which saw Test cricket come to Wales
in July 2009 as Cardiff hosted the Ashes Test between England and
Australia. Changing Faces - Glamorgan CCC 1888-2012 celebrates the
people who have taken the Club on this remarkable journey and who
have worn the Club's colours with pride and distinction. Using a
series of team photographs and group images from the Club's
archives - many of which have never been previously published -
this is a fascinating collection that will greatly appeal to
Glamorgan supporters and lovers of Welsh sport in general.
