COUNTY WRAP UP MASSIVE VICTORY
Western Mail
|May 12, 2025
GLAMORGAN thrashed Kent by an innings and 161 runs at Canterbury to pick up their first win of the season in the Rothesay County Championship.
Asitha Fernando took 3-18 and Timm van der Gugten 3-33 as the Welsh side dismissed Kent for 176 in their second innings, having enforced the follow-on after rolling them over for 212 first time around.
Chris Benjamin's first-innings score of 94 not out was the only positive for the hosts in a game the visitors dominated throughout, strolling to victory with a day and 29 overs to spare.
Home expectations were hardly high when Kent resumed on their overnight score of 156-8, with Benjamin unbeaten on 68.
But for the first hour at least they showed some doggedness.
George Garrett was on 11 when he edged Fernando to second slip but Kiran Carlson couldn't take a head-high catch.
