Monday 26 July will see the next in the series of special online talks celebrating Glamorgan Cricket’s 100th anniversary as a first-class club as the Club’s commemorates the day, back in 1921, when Billy Spiller – a Cardiff policeman and Welsh rugby international - became the first batsman in the Club’s history to score a century in the County Championship with his hundred coming in the away match against Northamptonshire.
“Billy Spiller – Glamorgan’s first centurion” will start at 1900 on 26 July and, besides a review of his extraordinary career as a cricketer and rugby player, the evening will include contributions by the South Wales Police Heritage Centre who have produced a film and special booklet celebrating Billy’s achievements on the sports field as well as his career as a policeman.
Attendance at the event, held via ZOOM, is free of charge and those interested in attending should send an email to museum@glamorgancricket.co.uk by 12noon on Sunday 25 July.
