Men’s Team Head Coach Richard Dawson has enjoyed returning to Glamorgan duties following his time with Welsh Fire in August.
As the Rothesay County Championship final block now approaches, and with his team in a strong position going into the final three matches, he’s ready to lead the squad as they look to maintain momentum in the promotion race... albeit taking one measured step at a time.
“We’ve had a little time to prepare leading into those three four day matches, and it’s building nicely into the back end of the season where we can hopefully do something really good,” he said.
“We’re not looking too far ahead. We have three games, but what we look at when we’re playing a four dayer is breaking it down, looking after the sessions and things like that. The message won’t be changing now. We’ve played some good cricket and that’s what we’ll be trying to do to the back end of the season.“
Glamorgan start September having secured Richard’s services for the long term. In what’s been an impressive first season for the head coach so far, Dawson was happy to commit to Sophia Gardens for a further three years.
“I was really pleased to extend my contract and sign for the next three seasons,” he told us. “The club have made me feel very welcome and I’ve really enjoyed working with the boys and coaching teams. Obviously we’ve played some good cricket throughout the season as well and seen some young potential to come through and play in the first team. They’ve been performing really well too.”
It's exciting to be a part of this club. The fans have been good, and I’ve enjoyed walking around the boundary during games and chatting with some people. It’s been really nice.”
