Vitality Blast returns to Sophia Gardens Cardiff in one month

8 Jun 2018 | Cricket
The Vitality Blast returns to Sophia Gardens Cardiff one month today when Glamorgan face Sussex Sharks.

The Welsh county begin their 20-over campaign with a trip to Hampshire on Friday, 6th July, before returning to Cardiff on Sunday with tickets just £10 for adults and free for U17s.

The two sides will compete for the inaugural Cottey Cup, named after former Glamorgan and Sussex batsman Tony Cottey. 

The Welshman spent 13 seasons at Glamorgan, winning the county championship in 1997, before joining Sussex in 1999. Cottey spent six seasons with the South Coast side before retiring in 2004 after becoming one of only a handful of cricketers to win the county championship with two different counties. 

Glamorgan will be looking to build on last year's successful T20 campaign with another trip to finals day. Last season Birmingham Bears edged out Glamorgan by 11 runs in a semi-final clash at Edgbaston but will this year be targeting to go one better. 

Colin Ingram will captain this year's team, playing alongside overseas players Shaun Marsh, Usman Khawaja and a host of the county's exciting Pathway players.
