Glamorgan vs Nottinghamshire
1968-08-31
On 31 August 1968 at the St Helen's ground in Swansea, Nottinghamshire captain Garfield Sobers became the first batsman to strike six sixes in a single first-class over. The bowler was Glamorgan's Malcolm Nash, experimenting with slow left-arm round the wicket as Notts pushed for a declaration. A BBC Wales camera crew, on site for training, captured the fifth and sixth sixes — and Wilf Wooller's commentary — for posterity.
Glamorgan v Hampshire (title-clinching match), Cardiff Arms Park
1948-08-25
On 25 August 1948 at Cardiff Arms Park, Glamorgan beat Hampshire by an innings and 24 runs to clinch the County Championship for the first time in their 27-year first-class history. Wilf Wooller, who had taken over as captain-secretary the year before, lifted the trophy in front of a delirious Welsh crowd. Glamorgan are the only Welsh county to have won the championship; their 1948 title was built on rugby-style fielding, low-budget improvisation (a portable mangle for drying the outfield) and a band of professionals nobody else wanted.

1944-08-05
Major Maurice Turnbull of the Welsh Guards, the Glamorgan and England all-round sportsman who had played nine Tests, captained Glamorgan for ten years and represented Wales at rugby and squash, was shot through the head by a sniper near the Normandy village of Montchamp on 5 August 1944. He was 38. His was the second Test cricketer death of the Normandy campaign and ended the most polished all-round sporting career produced by inter-war Welsh cricket.
