Speaking about the recent partnership Pete Grzonka, Glamorgan CCC Sales Director said “We are delighted to be involved in this new collaborative agreement with Cardiff Met – it is great to be able to support the students and staff at the University.
“The Welsh Dragons have made a good start to their t20 campaign with a home win against Warwickshire Bears and with three home games still to play, an evening at t20 cricket is the perfect way for students to socialise at the end of their academic year and post-exam celebrations.
“Cardiff Met has a great reputation for sporting excellence, and as one of leading universities for student sport in the UK we believe our new partnership is a great fit.”
The Dean of Cardiff Met’s School of Sport, Dave Cobner added “With both Glamorgan CCC and Cardiff Met being part of the MCC University scheme this partnership is a logical fit with benefits for both organisations.
“This could not have come at a better time, we are really excited about this season and it’s great to be involved with such a prestigious organisation.”
