The guys have been outstanding all through the tournament - Harrison

Head coach David Harrison hailed his team as 'outstanding' after they clinched the 2021 Royal London Cup with a 58-run victory over Durham at Trent Bridge.

Despite admitting to feeling some nerves during the Durham chase, Harrison was always confident Glamorgan would pull through under the leadership of Kiran Carlson.

“It’s a huge moment for the club, the guys have been outstanding all through the tournament and they fully deserved to finish off with a great win in the final," said Harrison.

“I got a bit nervy when Sean Dickson and Cameron Brancroft were playing really well but I knew we had enough in the tank to come back and there was enough in the pitch throughout the game.

“The guys batted really well to get 296 and bowled well as a unit as they have all tournament.

“Kiran Carlson played really well in the semi-final as well and to come back under the highest of pressure in a Trent Bridge final, he deserved a hundred and could arguably have been man of the match but Andrew Salter pipped him. He’s been fantastic as a leader all tournament.

“People will look back in years to come, it’s a one-day title regardless of who played, it’s been really competitive and speaking to a lot of coaches, they really enjoyed the competition with (new) players getting opportunities (running) alongside the Hundred, so we’re delighted to win it.”
