Glamorgan Secures Dominant Innings Win Over Kent in County Championship

Glamorgan secured a dominant innings and 161-run victory over Kent in the Rothesay County Championship Division Two at Canterbury, marking their first win of the 2025 season and one of their largest championship victories. Kent struggled throughout the match, being bowled out for 212 in the first innings despite Chris Benjamin's resilient unbeaten 94, and then dismissed for 176 in their second innings after following on. The key bowling performances came from Asitha Fernando and Timm van der Gugten, who took three wickets each in Kent's second innings, helping Glamorgan claim all ten wickets in a lengthy afternoon session. Kent's injury issues contributed to their difficulties, and this loss was their second defeat after winning two of their first three matches. Meanwhile, Glamorgan Women advanced to round three of the Vitality T20 Women's County Cup with a 48-run win over Sussex Sharks Women, with Bethan Gammon scoring 41 and key wickets taken by Eve O'Neill and Anna Buckle. The victory sets up Glamorgan Women to face the professional Lancashire Thunder in the next round.
