With one week and one more match to come, Division One status is fully confirmed for Glamorgan next season.
Lancashire visit Sophia Gardens from Wednesday next week, giving fans, players, coaches and the whole Club the chance to properly celebrate an achievement that’s been twenty years in the making.
Following the drawn out nature of this week – including weather delays and the need to wait for other results on the trip back from Derbyshire to lessen any initial fanfare - it feels a fitting way to rubberstamp an achievement few would have predicted early in the current campaign.
Despite initial setbacks, through Head Coach Richard Dawson and his coaching team, added to with true endeavour from senior and young players alike, resilience and momentum was steadily built. History has been made.

In the last few weeks, a lot of rain has played havoc with the game. So, to get the points to make sure we're promoted, it's a great effort from everyone considering where we were after the first four games when we thought we were in trouble.
It takes great guts and determination from the team, and it's been a team game where everyone has contributed so that's the most pleasing thing.
The message from Daws has been really clear - and the first few days has always put us in a good position. When we've got the likes of Ben Kellaway and Mason Crane to finish off games with the ball, we've always believed we could get the ten wickets.

When I took the job on, I always thought the changing room had a lot of good players, experienced players with a crop of good young potential coming through who have stood up and performed as well.
We had a nice blend so it was just changing the mind-set that we can win games in Cardiff. And once you've done it once you've got that self-belief to continue to play well. When we've had positions in matches to turn the screw, we have players who've done that.
It's been a bizarre four days with the first day out because of the winds, then the rain. I thought we did really well batting in the circumstances and the conditions. Kiran's innings was outstanding.
When Derbyshire came to Cardiff and we nearly got over the line, it changed the mindset especially at home. We could score runs and take wickets at home to force victories. On the back of that we got on a bit of a roll and people put in match-winning performance. So, Derbyshire in Cardiff was the turning point.

When I signed, we got really close - and I didn't think it would take this long (15 years) to get here again.
We've been building a core of players for five or six years. We've got really close, and we've got a sprinkle of quality with some players coming in and a different coach, maybe that's made the difference.
It wasn't looking great getting zero points at Lord's in the third game and being bottom of the table, but to go on the run we did is testament to the players and coaching staff, and everyone associated with the club.
Richard Dawson hasn't tried to reinvent the wheel, he just wants us to play good, hard cricket and do the basics well, and the atmosphere's great.
It's going to be tough in the First Division so we can't rest on our laurels and go up to compete, to try to stay up, and the hard work starts now.
