Somerset Seconds enjoy some cricket at last!
Richard Walsh - 30 May 2002



Somerset Second Eleven enjoyed the best of the second day of their rain interrupted championship match against Glamorgan today at the County Ground in Taunton.

After winning the toss Glamorgan asked their hosts to bat first, a decision that they may well have regretted as the day wore on and the wicket became easier paced.

Scott Cunningham, a triallist from Yorkshire, was the star turn for Somerset. Coming in at number five the right handed batsman shared in two century partnerships, putting on 115 for the 6th wicket with James Hudson (74) and then adding 102 with Martin Dobson (48) for the seventh.

Cunningham eventually moved to his own century and remained unbeaten on 125 when Somerset declared on 351 for 9. In all the young man from Yorkshire faced 217 balls and hit 17x4's.

For Glamorgan former Millfield School pupil Dean Cosker took 4 for 44.

Glamorgan faced a testing twenty overs before the close of play and lost their first wicket with the score on 12 when Pete Trego claimed one of the openers LBW in the fourth over.

The match continues tomorrow
