The third wicket partnership we were witnessing ended in a record 501 stand for Lancashire completed the following day. Number 3, Peterson, reached 286 whilst number 4, Prince, 261. The fourth highest 3rd wicket partnership in First Class cricket and a record for Lancashire.

Sophisticated for a club ground with its digital lights but it does host the Glamorgan occasional game here.

Looking towards the centre of Rhôs. This was the route of the Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Electric Railway, a tramway between those two towns which ran until 1956.

Taken during the lunch interval of a Specsavers County game between Glamorgan and Lancashire. In the end a bit of a one sided match. Glamorgan managed 257 in their first innings whilst Lancashire hit 545 in their first innings their captain Dane Vilas scoring 266, his current highest score. Glamorgan capitulated in just over two sessions on day 3 scoring 138 in 51.1 overs. Win therefore for Lancashire by an innings and 150 runs.

Refreshments at Colwyn Bay cricket club during day 1 of the LV Championship match between Glamorgan and Lancashire. At end of day Lancashire had reached 425 - 2 after 96 overs, with Ashwell Prince on 154 not out and Alviro Petersen on 205 not out. Their stand had reached 321 runs off 62.3 overs. Pity neither qualify to play for England who lost the 2nd Test to Australia by 405 runs on the same day. Their partnership was eventually 501 which is the fourth highest 3rd wicket partnership in First Class cricket.
