David Lloyd has been shortlisted for the Wrexham Sports Personality of the Year Award which will be presented on Thursday.
After a breakthrough season in 2016 Lloyd has been shortlisted alongside other finalists Andrew Armstrong (Bowls), Sabrina Fortune (Rio 2016 Paralympics Bronze medalist) and Daniel Weston (Wrexham Athletics).
He posted his maiden first-class hundred against Cardiff MCCU in April and then recorded his maiden Championship hundred against Kent at Canterbury, in the process, he became only the third North Walian-born batsman, after Wilf Wooller and Geoff Ellis, to make a Championship hundred for Glamorgan.
The match at Canterbury also saw David share a record sixth wicket stand of 215 in 38.2 overs with Graham Wagg – Glamorgan’s best –ever for that wicket against Kent. A few weeks later at Hove, David added another Championship hundred to his tally against Sussex, whilst in the Nat West T20 Blast match against the Kent Spitfires at The SSE SWALEC, David made a unbeaten 97 from just 49 balls and came close not only to posting his maiden one-day hundred for the Club, but equalling Ian Thomas’ Club record for the fastest Twenty20 hundred for the Welsh county, made from 50 balls against Somerset at Taunton in 2004.
Hannah Thomas who represented Wales in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, won the trophy last year.
