Welsh county wrap up victory

           
  They were all out for 207, with all-rounder Jim Allenby taking 4-27.The visitors were only able to survive 10.1 overs on the final morning, soon losing Thilan Samaraweera caught and bowled for 79 by Michael Hogan. Worcestershire's hopes of escape rested on former Sri Lanka Test star Samaraweera batting for most of the day, but he went in the fifth over of play, having added only eight to his overnight score.It left Glamorgan only needing 36 for victory and Ben Wright led the way with 30 not out as they won by 10 wickets.The win was Glamorgan's first over Worcestershire in Cardiff since 1971.The rest subsided quickly, with Allenby claiming three wickets before Hogan finished things off by having Gareth Andrew caught by fellow Australian Marcus North for figures of 3-61, and Wright and William Bragg knocked off the runs required in 9.1 overs.
