Weather permitting, Sunday`s National League game between Lancashire and Glamorgan at Old Trafford will see Matthew Maynard break Eifion Jones` record for the most number of appearances by a Glamorgan player in Sunday League format cricket.

The game will be Matt`s 213th appearance in the competition. He made his debut in 1985, against Yorkshire at Swansea - the day before his remarkable debut in first-class cricket which saw Matt make a century in his first ever Championship innings, reaching his hundred with three consecutive sixes off the bowling of the late Phil Carrick.

Matthew`s first appearance in the Sunday League was not so dramatic, as he scored 8 before being caught by Peter Hartley off the bowling of Chris Shaw. Since then however, Matthew has been Glamorgan`s most successful batsman ever in the competition, scoring a club record of 5944 runs.

Matthew still has a long way to go to overtake another long-serving player currently in action - Kim Barnett of Derbyshire and now Gloucestershire, who has played in no less than 307 Sunday League or National League fixtures.
