Glamorgan notched up their second LV= County Championship win of the season after defeating Leicestershire by six wickets at Sophia Gardens.
Chasing 150 to win on the final day, the Welsh county comfortably reached their target to pick up 23 points from the encounter, as David Lloyd's rapid 36 gave the hosts early momentum and Sam Northeast (40 not out) saw Glamorgan home.
Following the victory, head coach Matt Maynard praised the overall performance against Leicestershire, while also singling out Northeast and seamer Michael Hogan who took 3/33 in the second innings.
"It's been a very good cricket wicket, it got a bit flatter from the seamers' point of view and Parkinson got some spin, they did make us work but we've come away with a well-deserved win," said Maynard.
"We kept punching back at them slightly harder and created some opportunities in the first innings to get a 117 lead, then bowled well to put them in that position overnight.
"Parkinson and Mike played very well, but great to see the big feller (Hogan) get two wickets with the new ball, he's been incredible the last five games.
"We saw last week how calmly Sam Northeast led the chase against Derby, and he's the kind of player that if you're batting the other end, you'll learn a lot from him.
"I'm very pleased with the first block, one more game and it'll be a massive effort up in Durham who are a very strong outfit."
